[Verse 1]
Love is parasitic, pathogenic, a cage
Departing then absorbing the brain that is engaged
It came to visit in a physical stage
Before the spores lay dormant, now they leap off the page

[Pre-Chorus]
When imposters walk among us
Am I living with the fungus?

[Chorus]
You're sucking the life from me, a vampiress of the soul
We have precious little time for kisses, Just faking control
We grew together like a mould on a Petri dish long turned cold
Where madness reaps a bitter harvest

[Verse 2]
Love is psychotropic, in my pocket a drain
And scars upon a woman-handled heart are so plain
Her fruiting body suited me all the same
Once this jar lay open, now it's closed to the pain

[Pre-Chorus]
When imposters walk among us
Are we living with the fungus?
Lost in the night, you're like the breaking of day
The setting rot on its way
Can't stop living with the fungus
A terminal blight, seeping in on its prey
Trust is rusting away
The dead are living with the fungus

[Chorus]
You're sucking the life from me, a vampiress of the soul
We have precious little time for kisses, just faking control
We grew together like a disease overthrowing reality
Where madness reaps a bitter harvest

[Bridge]
I should've guessed by the red she was strictly poisonous
Sick to the stockinged gills
Breaking down my organic matter
Black trumpets announce this destroying angel
Death cap tipped to Hell
It so tells she excels at this fermentation

[Chorus]
You're fucking the life from me, a murderess of the soul
We have precious little time for kisses, just hate on a roll
We grew together like a mould on a graveyard centerfold
Where darkness reaped a bitter harvest

[Outro]
Lost in the night, you're the like breaking of day
The setting rot on its way
Can't stop me living with the fungus
A terminal blight, seeping in on its prey
Trust is rusting away
The dead are living with the fungus
