lyrics

Parasite, parasite.
Feeding off the energy of another
Doing what he will
So he’ll survive
Feeding off the body that’s giving him life
Parasite.

Now if you follow through this definition
It doesn’t take a brilliant man to see
That how we go about our own survival
Makes parasites of you and out of me

So pick your distraction
Could be drugs or sleep or sugar
Maybe it’s sensual, or tickles intellect
Possibly fixing all the others who seem crazy
Or maybe its indifference
It doesn’t change that we are parasites
Parasite

Now I’m not making any kind of judgment
Not saying if it’s good or if it’s wrong
Cause some parasites can help their hosts to live
While other ones will eat their hosts alive

Symbiotic
Embryonic

Choose your adventure
Could be living in the moment
Maybe its finding fame, or monetary gain
Possibly searching joy, or spiritual improvement
And it doesn’t change anything
We’re still all living here as parasites

Pointing fingers…
Who’s to blame?
As we eat our world away.
Words and policies extend.
Talking, talking to the end.

Where is the follow through?
From the words that tend to linger?
Who has the stamina to stand by their intent?
It’s highly implausible it will be the politicians
It’s got to start from within
To become symbiotic parasites
Parasite, parasite.
