Parasite - Lyric Video

You slithered your way into my mind
Infested everything you could find
But I was so desperate for someone to hear
That I ignored the sirens blaring in my ears

You weakened my entire mind frame
Took my clarity and bound it in chains
And after years of self-loathing I know now who's to blame

'Cause you've never been burned, you've never known the shame
'Cause your heart is made of porcelain and can withstand any flame
And your eyes are impermeable, letting through no tears
And you were a parasite feeding off of my fears

The colors that once lit my way
Slowly but surely all faded to gray
My hopes were as high as the warmest blue skies
'Til you shot them down with your cold brown eyes

While I was running toward the nearest light
You were busy worming your way through my mind
How could I have been so perceptive and yet so damn blind?

'Cause you've never been burned, you've never known the shame
'Cause your heart is made of porcelain and can withstand any flame
And your eyes are impermeable, letting through no tears
And you were a parasite feeding off of my fears

And I try to not look back, cut myself some slack
'Cause we were only children
But I thought they would be safe 'cause for God's sake
They were only children
They were only children

In my life I have one regret
It's how close I let you get
To everything that I hold high
You infected it all with your toxic lies

Well, you can find a new fool who will fall for your lines
He'll learn soon enough that they're not worth a dime
And you'll never come close to having a life like mine

'Cause you'll never be burned, you'll never know the shame
'Cause your heart is made of porcelain and will withstand any flame
And your eyes are impermeable, letting through no tears
And you're just a parasite who feeds off of fears

I'm talking to the stars again
With no one to hear me but the wind
And though I'm alone once thing's for sure
The illness was far worse than this cure
