A parasite got into my bloodstream
Vessels and veins only tangle it deeper
Alien flesh where craving only absence
Its like a sleep paralysis, I never get no rest
Don't touch me there,
Cold and dead beneath your hands
Can you not stare?I'm trying to keep my balance
Theres no god and I can prove it
Why make this body for a spirit that wants to lose it?
Please try, imagine how I'm meant to be
Both shy, why won't you make a man of me?
I'll be braver, just wish that I was real
No saviours, only the touch of steel
God I want it so bad
Feels like now or never
Why hold the remedy back?
Seems so quick to sever
You can try to be sweet
But its now or never
So pale, so weak
Just like daisy petals
Bored of being so sad
Your languishing lover
Hiding under our covers
One dream to another
Keep on stroking my hair
Saying it will get better
I won't ever know heaven
'Til I taste cold metal
