Scars multiply, like bacteria.
Body repossessed.
Housebound by paranoia,
parasite infests.

Blood becomes nothing but red water
cuts are only lines of dirt
Metal caresses skin like silk
Parasite numbs the hurt.

Friends becomes no one but strangers
Smiles are only lines of lies
Misheard words cut all over
Parasite pain magnifies

Why did I let you inside?
I lost myself, you took control.
When I was lost you took a ride.
You knew the way I let you drive.

Why did I let you inside?
You had a name, I gave you mine.
When I'd forgotten who I was
you took my name. You took my mind.
