Parasite

You have
Some kind of hold to me
Oh baby
You have
Some kind of hold to me

You know you're foolish
You dance around the facts
You never pay attention to demeanor
I respect that
You want the perfect love
You want someone to die for
Want a resolution, an answer
Who has one
It isn't me
I'm sorry, we spoke of
Many different things and many different outcomes
I didn't reach for answers
I'll find another host, I'll ghost
It's practice, this is how it works
Love is not eternal, it's minimal, unclear
A fear of dying all alone - beats me
For me - just a number, for you - something more
Discrepancy of flattery, a star beside a star
They all shine the same, but some shine brighter
Those flickers in the sky are to die for
Surrounded by a flock of, what I call, a trial
Dots with a story and parasites who bite 'em

You have
Some kind of hold to me
Oh baby
You have
Some kind of hold to me

When the irony is blinding
You squint a little more
You focus on amore
You don't want to be alone
You notice imperfections
You force misdirection
Play a fake smile
To acquire affection
So damn credulous
Falling for the worm
Let him eat your youth, your respect, your self-worth
Mangle up your near plastic corpse
Affirmative thoughts
Led by anger, frustration, and patience of sorts
Tell me your long term goals
I can crush them and make you feel worse
I can puncture the trust and the hope you hold dear
Is that what you want? Ain't that what you fear?
A facade of a million compressed into one
You're young and you're so damn dumb
You're sick, need a cure for love
Twirling inside of your mind
A parasite night by night

Hey, but wait a second
It's... Wait, listen

I sparked a mark inside your head
I know I say a lot of things
But push away the tears
But push away the
I sparked a mark inside your head
I know I say a lot of things
But push away the tears
Push away the
I'm sorry
