Like a Parasite

[Verse 1: Rudi Schwarzer]
I give it all, shoot for the stars
You feed yourself while I starve
You never had my back, not a bit
You left me hanging, I call it quits, you damn hypocrite
You were faking, simulating
But the times have changed
No more hiding, no disguising
Lay down your veil

[Pre-Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek]
I, I leave you behind
Cut all of our ties before you bleed me dry

[Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek]
Whoa, we built this world for you
I, I can see right through you
Every time I died some more on the inside
You bleed me, you bleed me dry like a parasite

[Post-Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek]
Like a parasite
Like a parasite

[Verse 2: Rudi Schwarzer]
It is a matter of give and take
Not fighting for your own sake, backstabber
And in the final aftermath
You will show me your bare face without a mask
You were faking, simulating
But the times have changed
No more hiding, no disguising
Lay down your veil

[Pre-Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek]
I can't see through your eyes
I can't justify the way you bled me dry

[Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek with Rudi Schwarzer]
Whoa, we built this world for you
I, I can see right through you
Every time I died some more on the inside
You bled me, you bled me dry like a parasite

[Post-Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek & Rudi Schwarzer]
Like a parasite
Like a parasite

[Bridge: Christoph Wieczorek & Rudi Schwarzer]
I choke on the air you breathe
I won't let you sow your seeds
I won't hear the lies you preach
I won't be the fool you bleed
I choke on the air you breathe
Won't let you sow your seeds
I won't hear the lies you preach
I won't be the fool you bleed
I won't be the fool you bleed
After all of this
You still try to stab my back
And while you're losing ground
You still try to bring me down

[Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek, with Rudi Schwarzer]
Whoa, we built this world for you
I, I can see right through you
Every time I died some more on the inside
You bled me, you bled me dry, you fucking parasite
