(Verse 1)
Another day, same old game, and it's all in your head
You feed on my energy, leave me for dead
Your every word, a venomous lie, it's draining me
A twisted reflection of what we used to be
(Pre-Chorus)
I'm walking away, but you're pulling me back in
Caught in this spiral, where do I begin?
You don't want to change, you just want to take more
Leaving my soul bruised, battered, and torn
(Chorus)
You're a parasite of love, you're a thief in the night
Taking my heart, extinguishing my light
It's not me, it's you, and the poison you breathe
A broken promise, a wound that won't leave
You're the darkness in my day, the ache in my chest
Just a parasite, putting my soul to the test
(Verse 2)
You twist the truth, make it all my fault
Building a cage of lies, a fortified vault
You need a host to survive, to keep you alive
But I'm done being the one you try to deprive
(Pre-Chorus)
I'm walking away, but you're pulling me back in
Caught in this spiral, where do I begin?
You don't want to change, you just want to take more
Leaving my soul bruised, battered, and torn
(Chorus)
You're a parasite of love, you're a thief in the night
Taking my heart, extinguishing my light
It's not me, it's you, and the poison you breathe
A broken promise, a wound that won't leave
You're the darkness in my day, the ache in my chest
Just a parasite, putting my soul to the test
(Bridge)
Between the lies and the tears, I finally see
There's nothing left for you and me
Your chains are fading, your grip is growing weak
I'm taking back the peace and the strength I seek
(Guitar Solo)
(Chorus)
You're a parasite of love, you're a thief in the night
Taking my heart, extinguishing my light
It's not me, it's you, and the poison you breathe
A broken promise, a wound that won't leave
You're the darkness in my day, the ache in my chest
Just a parasite, putting my soul to the test
(Outro)
It's not me, it's you!
A parasite of love!
(Fade out with heavy guitar chords and drums)
