Lyrics

Hair pulled back away from hollow eyes
That never see the man who pleads and cries
The mouth that only speaks incessant lies
Spits silent laughter when his spirit dies

Oh get behind me
I just want to be myself again
You can't deny me
I just wanna live

Every parasite needs a host
And I'm the one they feed upon the most
Give my money, steal me blind,
Show my passion, lose my mind

Empty buckets filled with toxic rain
And drinking from them drives the man insane
But she's the one with something left to gain
And so she doesn't care if he's in pain

I let you use me
I just want to be myself again
You can't abuse me
I just wanna live

Every parasite needs a host
And I'm the one they feed upon the most
Try to reason, take the blame
Give my kindness, smear my name

Expectations of him all around
To all of these the man is tied and bound
Yet no one notices a single sound
When all his dreams are crushed into the ground

Every parasite needs a host
And I'm the one they feed upon the most
Give my body, keep my soul
Pray for comfort, make me whole.
