​talking to the parasite

[Verse 1]
Every morning
It's in my head
Even before
I can get out of bed
As I sip my coffee
With Oatly instead
It whispers in the silence
"Jayleen is dead"

[Verse 2]
Every practice
When they get on base
I feel it always
That empty space
And a horrible feeling
I can't erase
That She should be here
In my place

[Verse 3]
I know what it is
I have to do
A truth I think I-
I always knew
A sacrifice must be made
Before we're through
And I'll do whatever it takes just to
See you

[Verse 4]
Every evening
It's in my head
While I'm wide awake
Lying in my bed
I toss and I turn
Filled with dread
So I scream into the silence
"Jaylen won't stay dead!"
