Parasites
You never learned to share
You always thought you were the one
Who would land on your feet
No matter who, no matter how
Look behind you, baby, and you'll see
The doors are slamming shut
Listen to the whispers
And the queasy feeling in your gut
Your path was undisturbed by woes and cares
You struck gold at every turning
We were left with scraps and trinkets
Tucked between the bodies left behind
Hiding in us, filthy parasites
Worming through us, greedy and malign
As they grow, we can't tell worth from price
Eat us hollow, treacherous and blind
But your spoils will come to lose their shine
You'll wake each day to feel the noose is tighter
'Cause nothing rings as loud as truth
And you will learn there is a price to pay
Because we know the day will come
When we'll stand over you and look down in your eyes
And we will smile at you
And we will tell you that your luck ran out
And your life has been a barren, empty waste
Hiding in us, filthy parasites
Worming through us, greedy and malign
As they grow, we can't tell worth from price
Eat us hollow, treacherous and blind
Parásitos
Nunca aprendiste a compartir
Siempre pensaste que eras el elegido
Que caerías de pie
Sin importar quién, sin importar cómo
Mira detrás de ti, nena, y verás
Las puertas se están cerrando de golpe
Escucha los susurros
Y la sensación de malestar en tu estómago
Tu camino estaba libre de penas y preocupaciones
Encontrabas oro en cada giro
Nosotros nos quedamos con migajas y baratijas
Escondidas entre los cuerpos dejados atrás
Escondidos en nosotros, parásitos sucios
Atravesándonos, codiciosos y malignos
A medida que crecen, no podemos distinguir valor de precio
Nos devoran vacíos, traicioneros y ciegos
Pero tus botines perderán su brillo
Despertarás cada día sintiendo que la soga se aprieta
Porque nada suena tan fuerte como la verdad
Y aprenderás que hay un precio que pagar
Porque sabemos que llegará el día
Cuando estaremos sobre ti y te miraremos a los ojos
Y te sonreiremos
Y te diremos que tu suerte se acabó
Y que tu vida ha sido un desperdicio estéril y vacío
Escondidos en nosotros, parásitos sucios
Atravesándonos, codiciosos y malignos
A medida que crecen, no podemos distinguir valor de precio
Nos devoran vacíos, traicioneros y ciegos
