Verse 1: [Emezie Okorafor]
Now that was the start of a hardening heart
And that was the sound of a mouse leaving the ground
But some little sound like a sudden attack
And the parasite knew that things would never be the same
You see you taught me to swim, taught me to fly
You taught me to love, you taught me to cry
But beyond and above I cannot deny
That I'm a parasite
Yeah that'll never change
A lowly parasite
Forever ugly and strange
A lowly parasite
And so the parasite swam to the depths of the sea
I want that punk ass fish who first messed with me
See you taught me to swim but then you left me to sink
I think it's time to pay the piper, don't you think?
So it infected the fish with a dangerous sickness
A parasitic disease put the fucker at ease
And then the parasite flew to the tallest of trees
And found it's feathered former friend the bird admiring the breeze
I was taught how to fly, I was left high and dry
Such a dirty, dirty birdy with a dirtier lie
