They crawl under my skin, the parasites They stuff cotton ***** in my brain, the parasites They force lies down my throat, the parasites They nail tacks under my fingers, the parasites They will drag me to the end And shackle me to the death The parasites

PARASITES
I could fly like the Phoenix I'm supposed to be, At cloud height, Cloud Nine, see everything Were it not for the ropes that hold me down Were it not for the bloodlust, torturous sounds Were it not for the voices in my head That sometimes make me wish I were dead And maybe if I wasn't so critical Or perhaps just a little less hypocritical Were it not for the need to be OCPD Straighten everything, as straight as can be Checking my back because I'm paranoid, That someone will appear, push me in the void And I would swirl and spin, forever trapped With all lights off, and no time to clap That I would be that man, the one in black Who would self-indulge in a self-aimed attack Who would one day slit an artery, and just lay there And with open eyes, unseeing, continue to stare Glaring at the world that held him down Glaring at the grey sky that never helped him out Angry in death at those who tormented him, bullies Maybe I could fly were it not for these, Things
