Parasite (lyrics)

“Parasite”

By Andrew Robinson

[INTRO]

[VERSE]

It drips right off your tender luscious lips

And spills around your strangled clumsy grip

I watch you lick it up, up off the floor

All the feelings that you have out worn

It confuses splinters

And buries itself

Impatient shakes

That carve your hell

I watch you paint it on

Over your skin

All the feelings

That swell within

[PRECHORUS]

So you are

When you fall

Divine

And you are

When you’re gone

Still mine

{VERSE]

You burn right up through all your colors

Blister to frays rapt like no other

I watch you thirst it down affections pressed

Thick in the ink your heart’s mute confess

[PRECHORUS]

So you are

When you fall

Divine

And you are

When you’re gone

Still mine

[CHORUS]

Please wake me from

This heartless home

My dear

Throw me to the stars

Please wake me from

This love so denied

My dear

Tell me you’re not far

[POSTCHORUS]

[VERSE]

Blushed in the glow of cinder’s cutting smoke

I consume the dust and you let me choke

Such rich pleasure, oh, such retreat

I arm my best jealousy at your feet

So playful on

The butcher’s block

But the wolf is dead

And so is the flock

You splay their smiles

You tear their tears

But no one knows

It’s you you fear

[PRECHORUS]

So you are

When you fall

Divine

And you are

When you’re gone

Still mine

[CHORUS]

Please wake me from

This heartless home

My dear

Throw me to the stars

Please wake me from

This love so denied

My dear

Tell me you’re not far

[BRIDGE/SOLO]

[CHORUS]

So you are

When you fall

Divine

And you are

When you’re gone

Still my

Home, my hollow heart
