lyrics

Blackbird creek, starting to seep
It’s creeping up inside of me
And I brought this upon myself
I dream of your anatomy

Indian pipe sucks the life
From beechwood from the root inside.
Like Spanish moss and mistletoe.
Without you I’m at a loss of where to grow

And everything you did it for
And everything you want and more
Was it just a lullaby to pass the time?
And everyone you’ve ever loved
Tell me when you’ve had enough
Tell me how could you resist the parasite?

Instead of spending all our time
Watching us wither on the vine
You show me yours, I’ll show you mine
My Parasite

Instead of spending all our time
Watching us wither on the vine
You show me yours, I’ll show you mine
My Parasite

Footsteps creak, as I creep
And crawl to be beside you
You brought this upon yourself
When you said my name

Blackbird creek, starting to seep
It’s creeping up inside of me
Who brought this upon us both,
Peaceful though we try to be?

Instead of spending all our time
Watching us wither on the vine
You show me yours, I’ll show you mine
My Parasite

Instead of spending all our time
Watching us wither on the vine
You show me yours, I’ll show you mine
My Parasite
