Parasite - Xerathis

[Immediate Vocal Entry / Heavy] YOUR’E JUST A PARASITE! (down-tuned chugs slam in) --- [Verse 1 – Aggressive Screams] You fed off every word I said Turned my kindness into your nest Took every inch until there’s nothing left Now I see the sickness underneath your skin Every problem became mine Every bridge burned in my name You wear my trust like a disguise While you drain me dry again You only call when you need saving Never there when I’m collapsing --- [Pre-Chorus – Tension Build] I carried your weight Until my spine began to break --- [Chorus – Huge Cinematic Cleans] You’re just a parasite Living off the life inside me Twisting every sacrifice Until there’s nothing left to bleed You take and take and take But you never gave a thing Now I’m cutting out the poison Before you bury me Parasite… --- [Verse 2 – Screams] You wore your guilt like a halo Played the victim every time Left me drowning in your chaos While you fed off what was mine I was blind to your infection Now the truth is crystal clear You only love the sound of your reflection You only care when no one’s there I was your crutch Your scapegoat Your lifeline Now watch it all collapse --- [Pre-Breakdown – Slow Build] You dug your teeth into my soul And called it friendship (drums halt) I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING --- [Breakdown – Crushing / Violent] (BLEGH) Cut the cord Watch you rot Nothing left for you to take now Leech Coward Feeding off the weak around you You sucked the life out of everyone you touched NOW CHOKE ON THE BLOOD OF THE HAND THAT KEPT YOU UP --- [Bridge – Atmospheric / Emotional Cleans] I should’ve seen the warning signs The emptiness behind your eyes You only stay until there’s nothing left to steal --- [Final Chorus – Bigger / Layered] You’re just a parasite Living off the pain inside me Feeding on every sacrifice Until there’s nothing left to breathe You take and take and take But now the cycle ends I’d rather walk alone Than let you in again Parasite… --- [Outro – Dark Ambient] (ambient guitar fades) “No more…” “You’ll never feed from me again…”
