Parasite Lyrics - The Flood And The Mercy - Ed Kowalczyk

Little worm 

No spine at all 

Just feedin' on the crumbs that fall 

Down on the floor you grub 

An ancient slug 

Is far from above 

How you live with yourself? 

Big mouth 

Little heart 

Talk so loud, think you're smart 

You're just a bag of guts 

And nothing but 

The door is shut 

This wall ain't coming down 

You want what you can't be 

Just a parasite suckin' on the side of me 

I'm gonna rip you off 

And smoke you out 

Your time is done here you won't be bringin me down again 

This time, the doctor's here 

To diagnose to make it clear 

No quarter be given to the enemy 

The parasite 

Was livin' off of me 

Now that I am healed 

The world is right the way is clear 

All of the weakness gone 

It won't be long 'til I am strong 

'til I am strong again 

You called yourself my friend 

Shoulda never let you in 

Now many are my sins but I'm no parasite 

I woke up I came to understand it was always you 

Takin my power down 

The cause was found the truth is out 

That dog is in the pound 

You want what you can't have 

I'm the healthy skin under 

You're the puss and the scab 

Gonna rip you off and throw you out 

Your time is done here you won't be bringin' me down again
