Parasite

Lyrics

[Intro] (tremolo dissonant riff, blast beat building) [Verse 1] PARASITE JOHNNY PARASITE JOHNNY - scavenger king Crawling through my door again, hollow-eyed and grinning wide Hand outstretched before your voice, "got a smoke?" before "hi" Leech in human clothing, calls my couch his own address Never once in all these years has anything undressed his debt [Pre-Chorus] PARASITE JOHNNY PARASITE JOHNNY - scavenger king You drink my water like a plague upon the well You cry broke at closing time then Venmo someone else Pockets full and still you take, a sickness, not a need This is not survival - this is scavenger's greed [Chorus] PARASITE JOHNNY PARASITE JOHNNY - scavenger king Takes and takes but never pays Feast upon the willing till the willing turn to bone PARASITE JOHNNY PARASITE JOHNNY - scumbag in top hat [Verse 2] PARASITE JOHNNY PARASITE JOHNNY - scavenger king "Just this once" - a thousand times, the same rehearsed decay Wears a borrowed crown of class while begging every day My weed, my food, my last four bucks, the shirt off of my back Too good to work, too proud to thank - too broke to pay it back [Breakdown] PARASITE JOHNNY PARASITE JOHNNY - scavenger king NOTHING GIVEN - EVERYTHING TAKEN EVERY COUCH A BED HE NEVER'S MAKEN A GRAVE THAT DIGS ITSELF AND CALLS IT LIVING THE ONLY THING YOU'VE EVER DONE IS TAKING [Verse 3] PARASITE JOHNNY PARASITE JOHNNY - scavenger king I'll watch the day the well runs dry, the throne of scraps collapse The king of empty pockets drowning in his own contempt No casket needed for a thing that never gave a breath Just a hollow crown still reaching - reaching past its death [Final Chorus] PARASITE JOHNNY - starve now, scavenger king PARASITE JOHNNY - starve now, scavenger king No mourners at the table that you never once refilled Starve, you hollow leech - the debt's collected. Now be still. [Outro] PARASITE JOHNNY - scavenger king PARASITE JOHNNY - scumbag in top hat "Take... take... take..."
