Chronically Parasitic

HPP is like this parasitic thing
And there’s this massive hole to fill
You shovel in everything you’ve got
Yet the hole gets deeper still
 
Forever it will take and take
Break your spirit, drain your soul
It will leave you depleted
All alone in the dark and cold
 
You rot here in your fish tank
For there is no place to run
This parasite that we call HPP
It won’t stop until it’s done
 
Your bones will certainly quiver
And oh, your muscles will ache
And you will be left with nothing
But, pain, sadness and heartbreak
 
You hope tomorrow is better
You just know that it has to be
But tomorrow is just another day
The same for as far as you can see
 
This parasite, this disease we say
It found me, I didn’t find it
But I see the light and see the way
Yet I can’t be free from its grips
 
I dig my claws in, deep as I can
I climb and climb and climb
Only to slide back down defeated
All just to try it again another time
 
This battle is long and tiresome
It bends you and breaks you
Oh, and it morphs and changes you
And you will always pay what’s due
 
So rest easy at the bottom, my dear
For this is what the future holds
Tomorrow is a brand new day
And I’ve never been the type that folds
