There is an alien in me It lives below my surface I try to cut it out sometimes It doesn't know what hurt is And I don't know what to do It gets too much to mention A parasite upon my thoughts It's eating my attention There is an alien in me I'm crying when it's feeding It wriggles underneath my skin And I can feel it breeding Its veins are my veins and we share A soul, a spine, a psyche It doesn't seem to know I'm there It carries on despite me I live outside an alien I'm carried on its body Sometimes I feel its muscles ache Sometimes it does things for me Communicates when I'm asleep A psychedelic warning Leaves little notes for me in dreams And stains my mind for morning
