[Lyric] My Parasite (Emezie Okorafor)

Parasite
All alone when all is well
Not a worry in the world
Not a heaven or a hell
When you world is but a pearl
Drifting in the endless sea
Living ignorance was bliss
Your only purpose was to be
Until the day it met a fish

"What a sad pathetic life, my parasite... my parasite
I can help you live it right and see the seas in the moonlight..."
So the fish taught parasite to swim
And parasite was amazed
By the sea and sights within
Such a wonderful place

Parasite
All alone when all was well
Not a worry in the world
Neithеr heaven nor a hell
Back whеn life was but a pearl
But now you've seen the massive sea
And now your old life seems absurd
You said the fish was what you need
Until the day you met a bird
"What a sad pathetic life. My parasite, my parasite
I can help you live it right, through the gift of flight."
So the bird taught parasite to soar
And parasite was amazed
From the plains to grassy shores
The world's a wonderful place

Parasite
All alone when all was well
Not a worry in the world
Not a heaven nor a hell
Back when life was but a pearl
But now you've flown across the world
It's all so beautiful and cool
And now your old life seems absurd
Until the day you met a wolf

"What a sad pathetic life. My parasite, my parasite
Without your friends to make it right; without a wolf pack to spend the night."
And so the wolf howled to the sky
And its pack came around the bend and
The parasite, it realized
The true meaning of friends

Parasite
All alone when all was well
Not a worry in the world
Neither heaven nor a hell
Back when life was but a pearl
But now the parasite had heard
The strength of friendship in the world
And now its old life seemed absurd
Then it met a girl
