The Matriarchy - Parasite Lyrics

You seemed so nice
My defences all came down
But then you grew just like a tumour
Wearing me down
Flowing through my bloodstream
And I'm sick of dragging you around
Parasite in my veins you crawl
Yea I'm your helpless host
No escape, no escape at all
You cling everywhere I go
I never seem to learn
I've been fighting for so long
Now it's your turn
All you do is take
You never give
I don't think you ever cared at all
Leave me alone
Find someone else to call home
You've taken everything I had
Parasite in my veins you crawl
Yea I'm your helpless host
No escape, no escape at all
You cling everywhere I go
I never seem to learn
I've been fighting for so long
Now it's your turn
I had just finished burying the hatchet
When you surprised me with a knife in the back
Blood rust red as my pleading eyes met yours
Blue meeting green
And in the slow seconds before the pain hit
I asked you why
You twisted the knife in response
Not even granting me the small mercy of missing my heart
At this point the unfamiliar green
Gives way to something dull and dead
And I wonder
Did I know you at all?
Parasite in my veins you crawl
Yea I'm your helpless host
No escape, no escape at all
You cling everywhere I go
I never seem to learn
I've been fighting for so long
Now it's your turn
