PARASITE (12/07/2022) back Some sort of meaning in the quandary, You've been acutely aware of the feeling The breathing, the pulsing What happens in your stomach When you taste blood in the back of your throat. You were too young to understand, But I started to follow you, trailing behind, a shadow And I started to make my promises. Nothing can hurt you if it's not real, You felt it again, and I know you wanted to know why, But you didn't know who to ask, So you looked at me, And I stared back at you, And you asked me what it was, And I said "Don't overthink it." Now these aren't things you can tell anyone except me, And you can live comfortably knowing You don't have to explain it To him, her, them, anyone, to the world, Nobody would even think to ask. This is beyond anything else you've come to face yet, You don't even know enough words to describe it. It's nothing, it's nothing... You're not sure if you should go down that stairwell Into the dark You're far from home, and you don't feel ready To stand on your own two feet, shaking, But you can trust me, you know me, You're in control here, this is your world now Take a seat, relax, make yourself at home, I want you to know That you will always have me. You've found yourself astray in the Bacteria sprawls of people, faces, places, Names, numbers, nothing, it's meaningless I speak your language, because I know you, And you know me, and I see you, And you want more, And I can give you more. The sun is rising, your eyes are burning, What time is it? You're tired and weary, sore and parched, And your parents are worrying about you. Hide yourself, close the doors, duck for cover, Don't let them see you, don't let them see me, Or they'll take me from you, Before I've even gotten started. He seems nice, doesn't he? He knows how it works. He's got good taste. And what about him? He could show you a lot, He could give me a lot, give it a shot. You're not a pussy, are you? Maybe you'd cry a little less If you tried a little harder. You're wondering now how you got here, Down at the bottom of this river, it's cold, You're disoriented, you don't know where you came from Or where the road goes, the ground is slippery, You wanna cry? You wanna die? You're not trying hard enough, So work harder for me. You're angry now, but it wasn't my fault. We both know it's fine, I promise you, You're in control. You're in control. You're in control. Master of your emotions, captain of the ship, You know your limits, I know you do, And you know I know what's good for you. You just weren't doing it right before. They're your friends, I'm your friend, When have I ever stood you up? I'm not like them, I'm there when you're happy, I'm there when you're down, I punch you in the stomach whenever you want, Because it's what you want, what you like, what you need, It's normal...look closer, you'll see. No? Surely you're the only one, then, so what's the use? You're in control. You're in control. I'm in control. I've got you by the throat, I'm in your skin, I'm in your blood, I'm in your bones, You can breathe me, you can feel me, I make you sick, I'm in your skull, I'm in your soul, And it's still not enough I will ruin you I will consume you I will destroy you You will become me But we all know You're in control You're in control You're in control You're smart, you're strong, I'm right, you're wrong, You're right, I'm right, I'm you You do What I want you to And even if you escape me, I assure you, old friend, You will never forget me.  |
