C#m                                 A
-- Scratch off the skin to find the emptiness
    F#           C#m
The bitterness I feel
C#m                                   A
-- Pull off the mask in search of the ugliness
    F#                   C#m
The maliciousness you conceal
C#m
-- Then it struck me like a match in the dark
   A                  F#
Illuminating my eyes with the spark
C#m
-- That you're probably gonna end up alone
                A            F#                 A
Cause you keep torching everybody that you've known
                    B       G#
All along you were damaged goods.


[Chorus]
         C#m
You're a parasite - parasite
                G#
Sucking on the mindless and the weak
 F#m
Spreading disease - your ego and greed
 G#
Plotting whilе we sleep.
         G#m
You're a parasite - parasitе
                     G#
You've always been a liar and a fake
          F#m
But you manipulate - the shape that you take
G#                          C#
Coveting a life of endless fame.


[Verse 2]
C#m                                           A
-- Crawl through the labyrinths filled with spitefulness
           F#          C#m
And with a venomous disease
C#m                                A
-- To fall prey to my empathy and make believe
             N.C.    G#          C#m
You wouldn't cut me down at the knees
                           C#m
Our was searching high and low
                               A
For anything that would have shown
                      F#
There was a sliver a soul inside
C#m
-- But then it hit me like a brick inside the head
            A                 G#
It made me sick that I wasted so much time.


[Chorus]
         C#m
You're a parasite - parasite
                G#
Sucking on the mindless and the weak
 F#m
Spreading disease - your ego and greed
 G#
Plotting while we sleep
         C#m
You're a parasite - parasite
                     G#
You've always been a liar and a fake
          F#m
But you manipulate - the shape that you take
G#                          C#
Coveting a life of endless fame.


[Bridge]
C#m                     E
Dancing around like a clown
                   C#m
Showing everyone around
        G#            C#m
How the son wears the icons' crown
              E              C#m
Laa lala lalalaa lalalalalalalaa
            C#m
La lala lalalaa la la
C#m
-- Nothing but hollow bones in a flesh suit
G#
-- Masquerading as a man with a heart who
F#m
-- Shows a smile like a politician has to
   G#
An empty gesture from a too bad jester
      G#
We'll always know


[Chorus]
         C#m
You're a parasite - parasite
                G#
Sucking on the mindless and the weak
 F#m
Spreading disease - your ego and greed
 G#
Plotting while we sleep
         C#m
You're a parasite - parasite
                     G#
You've always been a liar and a fake
          F#m
But you manipulate - the shape that you take
G#                          C#
Coveting a life of endless fame.
