The story of a person an (im)possible future, who acquires a second self, and is killed for it.
lyrics
I wore my best red dress,
Less like wine and more like blood.
It was raining, it was wet,
The drains began to flood.
It was a shadow with a knife
I thought they’d use a gun,
and I can still hear the cough, the choke, the squish
Of patent leather in the mud
And now I’m so ashamed
So ashamed
Ashamed I dragged you along
Symbiont,
I’ve been a bad host
I was a weak man,
Now I’m a bad Ghost
Symbiont,
I’ve been a bad host
I was a weak man,
Now I’m a bad Ghost
A bad Ghost
I picked the antique lock,
On your laboratory door,
I didn’t know just what,
The formula was for
And now I’m so ashamed
So ashamed
Ashamed I dragged you along
Symbiont,
I’ve been a bad host
I was a weak man,
Now I’m a bad Ghost
Symbiont,
I’ve been a bad host
I was a weak man,
Now I’m a bad Ghost
A bad Ghost
(Instrumental)
Symbiont,
I’ve been a bad host
I was a weak man,
Now I’m a bad Ghost
Symbiont,
I’ve been a bad host
I was a weak man,
Now I’m a bad Ghost
A bad Ghost
