Living With The Fungus

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
When imposters walk among us
Am I living with the fungus
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 traps a bitter harvest
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
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 the living with the fungus
A terminal blight
Seeping on its prey
Trust is rusting away
The dead are living with the fungus
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
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
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
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
