Life as a Parasite

You've got more than you need, don't look now
I'll take all I can get, please don't look now
This is just for survival, this is just for survival
It is my destiny, I have no choice...

I'm in search of a host
A giant beast to infest
Sink my teeth; I numb the source & start sucking
I'll be your invisible guest

It's life as a parasite...

So now I've been here for weeks
Assimilation success
This paltry amount of sustenance garnered
Shouldn't blow my cover just yet

That's life as a parasite...

I hear the curtain call now
A barnacle removed
The swift swipe of an omnipotent claw
Reduces this leech to gruel

That's life as a parasite...

Shut down, fucked off, done
