Parasite

Swallow down the pill, Fake a smile Mirror's spitting at my face let them pick apart my skin I just watch it fall to the floor Looking for the pieces they’ve stepped on How did I end up so far? Choked on the shadow of a thief Starving for a stranger's life Like it could hide my empty shell Falling far away from any grace In the quiet, I find no place Isolation grips me tight Oh in this gloom, I lost the fight Toxic parasite, taking over Is this who I am meant to be? Faking a smile, Swallow a pill, At the end I drown in pain Trying hard to play by their rules Putting on a flawless show Fading out behind the screen I keep chasing what they want to see Counting all the scars that they left me How did I end up this lost? Choked on the shadow of a thief Begging for a stranger's life Like it could save my empty shell Falling far away from any grace In the quiet, I find no place Isolation grips me tight Oh in this gloom, I lost the fight Toxic parasite, taking over Is this who I am meant to be? Faking a smile, Swallow a pill, At the end I drown in pain
