Something quite extraordinary
Takes my tongue from me
Saying things I don't mean
Describing things I've not seen

Close to me
But not inside, I know
Closer
Parasite, oh no

Sold myself a mortuary
Now loss is gain and I am here and I'm so very
Tired of being used
But what else can I do?

Close to me
But not inside, I know
Closer
Parasite

Never wanted just to sell you
Just to tell you why
Never wanted just to heal you
Just to hear you cry

Never wanted just to sell you
Just to tell you why
Never wanted just to heal you
Just to hear you cry

Close to me
But not inside, I know
Closer
Parasite, I know, oh
Close to me
But not inside, I know, no
Closer
