Even as a Parasite

[Intro]
Mic in my hand
Red curtain breath
Heartbeat louder
Than the crowd beneath
[Verse 1]
Spotlight burns
On my sweating skin
Every cheer
Crawls under my grin
Pretty smile
Painted on too tight
Something in my veins
Wakes up tonight (ah)
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you hear it
In my high notes?
Tiny tremor when I hold the long ones
Like a secret
Like a code
In the melody I choke on
[Chorus]
I’ll sing even as a parasite
Wears my halo like a crown in the light
If it eats me alive
I will stay on this stage
Stay on this mic
I’ll sing even as it drains my eyes
Turns my love into hunger and lies
If this body must die
Let the last thing you hear be my cry
[Verse 2]
Glitch in the step
On the second verse
Sugar on my tongue
Suddenly it hurts
Fans hold signs
With my borrowed name
Do they see the shadow
Under all this fame?
[Pre-Chorus]
Every run is getting sharper
Every breath is feeling borrowed
Is it mine
Or something darker
Dragging me through every chorus?
[Chorus]
I’ll sing even as a parasite
Wears my halo like a crown in the light
If it eats me alive
I will stay on this stage
Stay on this mic (hey!)
I’ll sing even as it drains my eyes
Turns my love into hunger and lies
If this body must die
Let the last thing you hear be my cry
[Bridge]
[Orchestra swells
Tempo surges]
Latin in my throat
I’m praying
Notes like knives
My ribs are straining
Voice splits open
Two souls clashing
One is pleading
One is laughing (ah-ah-ah)
Who’s the puppet
Who’s the play?
Who’s the mask that rots away?
If you love me
End this show
Cut the strings before I’m gone
[Final Chorus]
I’ll sing even as a parasite
Steals the color from my favorite lines
Hear the fracture in my high
As it speaks through my teeth
Through my smile (ooh)
I’ll sing even as it takes control
See the black drip down my throat of gold
If you want the real me
You will have to set me free
[Outro]
[Music drops to solo vocal and distant choir]
I’ll sing even as a— (gasp)
Voice snaps
Eyes wide
One last breath
[Sudden distorted hit
All instruments crush]
Let me die as your parasite
(Thank you…)

pop, Hyper-saturated K/J-pop hybrid with female vocals, anime-drama intensity. Start with intimate piano and strings, then explode into j-core drums, chiptune arps, and glitchy vocal chops. Choruses hit with layered harmonies, stacked octaves, and orchestral stabs; bridge swells into full opera-tone belting over double-time kicks, then collapses into a harsh, distorted final drop as the “parasite” voice takes over and the band cuts to a single, echoing note., hyperpop, k-pop, j-core, j-pop, anime, nintendocore, opera
