“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
