lyrics

Worker and parasite
Frozen in anthracite half the day
Sometimes I might
Catch a trick of the light
When it's beating back the shade

But every time
Is too far between to mention
Should I spare mine?
There's no struggle quite like
Your fight for attention

Forever new
Wear your dichotomy
Like a stranger's charm
But there's no mystery
Well, at least none to me
When it spills into self-harm

But I'm not done
Though each self-preserving instinct
Is screaming "run"
There's no worthier graft
Than the craft of rebuilding

Took a lifetime to learn it
And a half-minute to burn it down
Magnets and their opposites
Share half the blame
Worker and parasite
One and the same
