lyrics

I was walking through the store today
when the ticking of the clock started to take
over my head like a parasite
inside my head

my arms and legs and lips are on automatic
my smile is fake and i can't help it
my fingers slip
giving you the change

parasite in my head, please stop
you're making me, breaking me down
parasite in my head, please stop
you're making me, breaking me up
you're breaking me up

And I stand here and shiver
Wrapped up in this wet blanket
As my house burns away
from me

I have to get away
but the fog won't clear
with this parasite
in my ear

parasite in my head, please stop
you're making me, breaking me down
parasite in my head, please stop
you're making me, breaking me up
you're breaking me up

I was walking through the store today
when the ticking of the clock started to take
over my head like a parasite
inside my head

my arms and legs and lips are on automatic
my smile is fake and i can't help it
my fingers slip
giving you the change

parasite in my head
you're making me, breaking me down
parasite in my head
you're making me, breaking me up
