From the recording WHEN STARS COLLIDE
Pirates of Radio's experimental alternative rock masterpiece "PARASITE" shows the exciting progression of the band's sound, somehow combining the 80's energy of Phil Collins with the melancholy of modern emo and angst-filled modern rock breakdowns, with an experimental twist. Definitely worth the listen. And when you're done - check out the awesome acoustic version that re-interprets the song by creating melancholic and stripped down acoustic parallels of the main version, highlighting the true inner beauty of the song.
Lyrics
Ask if I feel alright
I know your eyes
there’s always something
Parasite heart a long time
I guess you’re right
we share a bloodline
Ask if I feel alright
I feel the thumping
venom pumping
Racing off to take the light
shape delight
into nightmares
Ask if I want a bone
flaming marrow
into thin air
Yeah, I worry
shifting gears too low
disembodied
I feel
a sense
of fear, of being whole
Yeah, I worry
long time feeling low
disembodied
I feel
a sense
of fear, of being alone
Best that I’ve felt in a long time
you know this smile
amounts to nothing
Wrecker of mind lives alongside
you know your eyes
they’re always laughing
Yeah, I worry
shifting gears too low
disembodied
I feel
a sense
of fear, of being whole
Long time feeling,
long time feeling low
disembodied
I feel
a sense
of fear, of being
Get up inside my head
Rise
Why can’t I feel my mind?
I feel your claws inside
You are the parasite
You say you are home,
you are home
Forever feeling low
I never feel alone
Forever feeling low
I never feel alone
Never feeling whole
Now you have a home
Never feeling whole
Now you have a home
