[Verse 1]
Empty husk
Lifeless eyes
Parasitic and cloaked in deceit
Infect
Infect and contaminate
Total appropriation
Existence commodified
Authenticity withered away
Appear subversive
Ego immersive
With nothing real to say
[Verse 2]
Bastardized
Your vision is enterprise
Replicate
Repackage, repurpose
Reproduce and reap the rewards
Art as expression
With no concessions
Is a risk you can’t afford
[Chorus]
Parasite
You're destined to live a lie
[Verse 3]
What compromise will you make next
Abandon your ethics
Unrecognizable at best
Hollow and vapid
[Chorus]
Bastardized
Your vision is enterprise
Parasite
You're destined to live a lie
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Bastardized
Your vision is enterprise
Parasite
You're destined to live a lie
