"parasite" lyrics

Stuck in my head like a parasite
Take what you need to stay by my side
Is it love or just survival?
Tear you off 'cause I'm terrified

I don't wanna part, but it's a living hell
I drank too deep from the wishing well
Now it's harder to start, but I can't pretend
Stuck in my head
Stuck in my head
Stuck in my head again

Better yet, break me down
I don't think you can save me now
I never chase a doubt
Making me find a way out
Chew me then spit me out
Treating me like a hand-me-down
I loved a parasite
Now I'm just barely alive

I tell you we're through, I choke on the words
You kick and scream, tell me how it hurts
I use the pain you gave me first
Play the victim when I break your curse

Stuck in my head like a parasite
Take what you need to stay by my side
Tell me is it love or just survival?
Tear you off 'cause I'm terrified

You lash out, crash out
One fight, and you're gone
Blackout, pass out
Wake up and move on
No, I don't need your explanation
You use me on occasion
Just like your medication

So let me tell you what I think about this
Every single thing you do is toxic
Your love was sick and parasitic
So I hope that you never call me
You fed off my pain oh so calmly
Got under my skin, now it's crawling
You poisoned my mind, it's appalling
So appalling, yeah

Stuck in my head like a parasite
Take what you need to stay by my side
Tell me is it love or just survival?
Tear you off 'cause I'm terrified

Stuck in my head like a parasite
Take what you need to stay by my side
Tell me is it love or just survival?
Tear you off 'cause I'm terrified
