I love my parasitic twin
He keeps me desperate and thin
He keeps me warm at night and sings songs
That only I can hear
His head is lodged in my chest
His legs are dangling from my waist
The doctors want to operate
They say that he's a waste of space
But I love my parasitic twin
We have the same birthday
He always faces the same way
And I know he'll need me always
I love my parasitic twin
He makes me feel so important
He keeps me up some nights shaking
And fills me up with fear
His sadness lodged in my heart
He clings to life with my arms
And I know I have to be brave
Because his soul is mine to save
And I love my parasitic twin
We have the same heart rate
He always faces the same way
And I'll be with him always
My parents didn't want me
Some say it was because of him
But I guess I'll never really know
Unlike them, I never had the chance to let him go
Not that I didn't try a couple times
Such a cowardly method of suicide
I ultimately realized that hurting him
Was a fate worse than death
We are blessed, we are blessed
I love my parasitic twin
I know that nobody else will
'Cause even if I let them see him
They don't believe that he's real
But I know he is, because I am
And I know that he understands
Because no matter where I go
I never ever feel alone
I love my parasitic twin
We share the same fate
He always faces the same way
And I know I'll need him always
I love my parasitic twin
