Simon McCandless Band - Parasite

Welcome to my black world
My eternal nightmare
Where do I belong?
Deep depression is burning me
Watch while I leave
Where do I belong?

My monsters are winning
And I'm trying to keep on fighting
But I'm losing

Blizzard that throws my head
I know I won't come back
Where do I belong? 
So many voices scream
They're calling my name
And I'm telling save me from myself

My monsters are winning
But I'm trying to keep on fighting
Yes I'm tryin' to live again - yes I'm tryin' to live again
But I'm losing

Save Me From Myself

Am I your parasite?
Indeed I can't live without you.
But consumin' you I forget myself.
Maybe, I'm my own parasite.

I'm severed.

Parasite

I'm sorry dad, I've failed again
These scars you see already prove my pain
Please don't beat me or I could not
These fake mistakes that I've made
I know -  I've heard it - whispered in the trees
I've take a walk to push it away

And the rain still falls
On my voice so I can't call
Wandering how is to sleep alone
In my bed for what I've done

I've walked for miles and miles away
Damn, I'm alone with nothing left to say
In this meadow then I find me again
I wish I gave you more than I can
Oh, How I wish, but I'm a man
Not a God, not a whore, not at all

And the rain still falls
On my voice so I can't call
Wandering how is to sleep alone
In my bed for what I've done
Forever damned for what I've done

And you don't remember me
The more I give the less I take
All these things that I forgive
What the hell I have to be





Shaking The Hand Of Solitude

Our same name puts me here
Can't see the things so much clear
I run through the land - Keep the smile on your face
For the bad thoughts -  to erase

Parenthesis - it hides something
Something so good - something I sing
These words'll disappear - These words will lose their meanings
As I leave, once more, when the dawn begins

I wrote this song for you
I sing this song for you
Our same name
Our same us
We're still here


When the dawn begins

I've been wandering into my heaven 
I've stepped upon the sun 
never back or kill my dreams
but I've found none 
often tried the bitter taste 
of leaving new homes
after sold myself to you
I've looked around 

I've looked around 
I've looked around

I don't know what's happened inside
in all I had into my mind 
I've seen the stone grew up in me 
and I'll lay till death
and I throw myself
and I stop fighting till I'm alive 

Shorts moments of serenity 
fill my grey and empty days 
then return to reality is so dark
and melancoly wins 
lost smiles that I once found 
the suffering chosen one 
see myself without a feeling
when I look around

I look around
I look around

I don't know what's happened inside
in all I had into my mind 
I've seen the stone grew up in me 
and I'll lay till death
and I throw myself
and I stop fighting till I'm alive

I've looked around
I've looked around

I don't know what's happened inside
in all I had into my mind 
I've seen the stone grew up in me 
and I'll lay till death
and I throw myself
and I stop fighting till I'm alive

I don't know what's happened inside
in all I had into my mind 
I've seen the stone grew up in me 
and I'll lay till death
and I throw myself
and I stop fighting till I'm alive

Stoned muse

Please let me sleep tonight
Shadows send me ‘round the bend
A road that can’t be walked
A room painted in black

I’ve tried to scream
But my mouth was always shut
I light a light
On this nowhere-leading path

You’ve took the key
Of my golden lair
I’m still scarred
But I’m sprouting in this rain…

Burn my eyes
With this new rising sun
You’ve cut my branches
There’s so much left undone…

Let me live
Take it away
Now let me stay
On my side.
