[Verse 1]

Scratch off the skin to find the emptiness

The bitterness I feel

Pull off the mask in search of the ugliness

The maliciousness you conceal

[Pre-Chorus]

Then it struck me like a match in the dark

Illuminating my eyes with the spark

That you're probably gonna end up alone

Cause you keep torching everybody that you've–

Known all along you were damaged goods

[Chorus]

You're a parasite, parasite

Sucking on the mindless and the weak

Spreading disease, your ego and greed

Plotting whilе we sleep

You're a parasite, parasitе

You've always been a liar and a fake

But you manipulate the shape that you take

Coveting a life of endless fame

[Verse 2]

Crawl through the labyrinths filled with spitefulness

And with a venomous disease

To fall prey to my empathy and make believe

You wouldn't cut me down at the knees

[Pre-Chorus]

I was searching high and low

For anything that would have shown

There was a sliver of soul inside

But then it hit me like a brick upside the head

It made me sick that I wasted so much time

[Chorus]

You're a parasite, parasite

Sucking on the mindless and the weak

Spreading disease, your ego and greed

Plotting while we sleep

You're a parasite, parasite

You've always been a liar and a fake

But you manipulate the shape that you take

Coveting a life of endless fame

[Bridge]

Dancing around like a clown

Showing everyone around

How the son wears the icons' crown

(Lalalala, lalala, lalalalalalala, lalalala, lalala, la! La! La! La!

Lalalala, lalala, lalalalalalala, lalalala, lalala, la! La! La! La!)

Nothing but hollow bones in a flesh suit

Masquerading as a man with a heart who

Shows a smile like a politician has to

An empty gesture from a too bad jester

We'll always know

[Chorus]

You're a parasite, parasite

Sucking on the mindless and the weak

Spreading disease, your ego and greed

Plotting while we sleep

You're a parasite, parasite

You've always been a liar and a fake

But you manipulate the shape that you take

Coveting a life of endless fame

[Outro]

(Parasite, parasite)

Woah oh, oh

Plotting while we sleep

(Parasite, parasite)

Woah oh, oh

Nananana, nanana, nananana, na!
