Parasite

Evil, vile, demented smile
Parasite, you’re a parasite
Charming, nice, sweetest vice
It’s all a lie, it’s all a lie

You seemed like a fly on the wall
Harmless and so very small
But you were a predator and I was prey
Waiting for me to fall

And fall I did
Fell into your greedy hands
Met every last one of your demands
Never realizing that I bled

Evil, vile, demented smile
Parasite, you’re a parasite
Charming, nice, sweetest vice
It’s all a lie, it’s all a lie

I got played like a fiddle
To me, it’s still a riddle
Why to this day
You are this way
Because everybody warned me
That you’re a monster, you’ll never change
I still loved you truly
Even when I should’ve just walked away

I fear for the next
I’m sure your trap is already set
I hope she doesn’t make the same mistakes as I
I hope she walks away without a tear in her eye

Evil, vile, demented smile
Parasite, you’re a parasite
Charming, nice, sweetest vice
It’s all a lie, it’s all a lie
