Lyrics

Parasites

The parasites are excited when you're dead Eyes bulging, entering your head And all your thoughts, they rot God and satan they gamble when you're dead Beams of light, one sprite, the other's bourbon instead And all your thoughts, they rot It was hot and time was stickin to my skin We're all a punchline to a joke that they won't let us in on And all your thoughts, they rot
