Cut Loose the Parasite by Hell Calls Me
Cut Loose the Parasite
Intro (cold, spoken)
I didn’t lose you
I removed you
Verse 1
You latched on slow, fed in silence
Called it love, perfected violence
Every promise stitched with need
Every touch a form of bleed
You drank me dry, smiled polite
Played the victim, hid the bite
Pre-Chorus
I felt you twitch when I woke up
You knew the end was coming fast
Chorus
Cut loose the parasite
No anesthesia, no goodbye
I severed every nerve you tied
You don’t survive this side of me
Cut loose the parasite
Precision rage, a steady knife
I choose myself, you lose your life
Inside my mind, you’re dead to me
Verse 2
You wore my strength like stolen skin
Called me broken when I’d win
You whispered doubt behind my eyes
Fed the sickness, sold the lie
But rot reveals itself in time
And I learned how to draw the line
Pre-Chorus
Your grip got weaker every day
I sharpened truth and pulled away
Chorus
Cut loose the parasite
No hesitation, no reprise
I watched your leverage vaporize
You don’t survive this side of me
Cut loose the parasite
No guilt remains, no sacrifice
I choose myself, you lose your life
Inside my soul, you’re history
Breakdown (slow, mechanical)
You needed me
I didn’t need you
You fed on fear
I fed on truth
This isn’t anger
This is control
I carve you out
I seal the hole
(pause)
Detached
Verse 3
You called it pain when I stood tall
Called me cruel when I cut you off
You screamed my name like I was wrong
But survival sings a louder song
I amputated what you were
A clean incision—no return
Bridge (melodic → savage)
I mistook poison for blood
Mistook your hunger for love
Now I stand sterilized
While you decompose outside
Chorus (extended)
Cut loose the parasite
No mercy written in my spine
I burned the bridge, I crossed the line
You don’t survive this side of me
Cut loose the parasite
I cauterized what made me weak
I finally sleep, I finally breathe
Without your teeth inside of me
Final Breakdown (faster, violent)
No apology
No regret
You don’t get closure
You don’t get left
Behind my eyes
Behind my skin
You never existed
You never win
Outro (spoken → screamed)
This wasn’t hatred
This was surgery
Cut loose
Cut clean
Parasite—
Removed
