PLC - Parasite

Standing here today
Stranded and dismayed
Left here in a body denigrated and decayed

Ostracized through plight
Losing will to fight
Letting in the parasites that eat away my mind

Take this no more
Save me from horror
Restore the light to me
Save me

Fear
Through my demise
You will see the signs
Of lost paradise
This parasite of mine

Writhing in disguise
'Neath these haunted eyes
You will see the sights
This parasite of mine

Chorus

It's damaging the burrowing
I feel inside my head
(Inside my head)

It's steadily erasing me
As my memories decay
Decay

Pain
Seen through my eyes
Can't escape the sights
Of lost paradise
This parasite of mine

Running from demise
Ringing in my mind
Cannot win the fight
This parasite of mine

(Chorus)

I begin to pray
That this will go away
That I will see a day of dawn
Where all this will dissipate

Reignite the fight
Against impending night
Extinguishing this parasite
That's killing me inside

Resist
Don't give in
You'll live to fight again

Push back
Hold on
To the strength you have within
This time you will win

I feel your useless resistance
Just give in you’re pathetic

You will not give me up
You will not cast me down
I am a part of you
I'm with you 'til you die

And when you take your life
It will be at my will
Forever in your mind
Forever at your side

I forge my way from here
Free from your clutching chains
The whispers in my ear
That I will never be
What I was meant to be
Happy unto myself
And with my own free will
I pledge never again
