From the recording WHEN STARS COLLIDE
This powerful and engaging acoustic version of Pirates of Radio's epic "PARASITE" highlights the inner beauty of this genre-defying song. While the original version is a full-on alternative rock production filled with emo-laced vocals and angsty breakdowns, the acoustic version re-interprets the song by creating melancholic and stripped down acoustic parallels of the main version, and it's a great listen. Put on headphones and close your eyes for this one.
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
