Mind Parasites

©1992 Garrett Clevenger


Am  E F    There are beings we don't see who have a strange way.

Am  F E    From an invisible dimension. They've come here to stay.

Am  E F    So careful what you think as you pass through this plane.

D   F E     or the mind parasites will enter your brain.

 

Am  E F    They feed on your feelings, the energy from 

Am  F E    emotional experience- all that you've done.

Am  E F    From fighting with your lover, to shooting off your gun.  

D   F E     It makes little difference if they've already come.

 

Bb  A Ab   They provoke the terror that runs through your veins.

Bb  Ab A   Giving you your pleasures and all of your pains.

Bb  A Ab   Causing all your troubles and building your fame

G Gb F E   and if you die, all that you've gained

 

Am  E F    will be food for the mind parasites,

Am  F E    astral emanations who emerge like the light,

Am  E F    feeding on the feelings from your emotional plight,

D   F E     delving in your fantasies behind your eyes

 

Am  E F    They'll give you what you want to see: visual scenes.

Am  F E    They'll give you what you want to have: physical things.

Am  E F    All they want back is an emotional stream.

D   F E     Leaching on the weak at heart, the cruel and obscene.

 

Bb  A Ab   Survival is a game you play, you lose to yourself.

Bb  Ab A   Scraping for a living, condemned to your shell.

Bb  A Ab   Fighting one another, fearing your hell.

G Gb F E   But the secret is out, this I can tell:

 

Am  E F   the mind parasites are repelled by your Love.

Am  F E    It acts like a shield against the raiders above.

Am  E F    So prevent infestation by wearing this glove

D   F E      and you will taste the nectar of Divinity’s drug.

 

E F Gb G      Eternity's hug will embrace you

Ab A Bb B   as long as your Love completely burns through

C              the veil which keeps your Mind from seeing the Truth.
