Promises and Parasites Songtext
von The Crawling

The stench of your touch on my skin
A violation of everything
Clawing at the words that you speak
Are these reflections of you or me?
I am a plague pouring over us both
Yet I become infected by guilt
Your eyes show me the times I failed
A fist that brings such grace and adulation

Failures; I wanted to burn
Loathing; I want you to learn


I was so slow to react
It was a change in emotion
An overwhelming urge to enact
The final phase of devotion
A symptomatic age coming back
Craving for the end of our lies
The vows on the wall begin to crack
I can′t believe I called you mine

I was so slow to react
It was a change in emotion
An overwhelming urge to enact
The final phase of devotion

Failures; I wanted to burn
Loathing; I want you to learn
