Cancer Eater

My father was a working man
He worked all his life until he died
He fought for everything he had
I was the last to say goodbye
The shadow is behind me
At the the edge of every light
Calm me down, this uncertainty
Each day gives way to night
I need noise, please give me noise
Break the silence, fill the void
I held my breath for hours
Exhale
And you end where I began
We won't ever meet again
I'll never know the answers to the questions left unsaid
A weight I can't shed pulls me down
How much more must I give
To realize what I have
We're taken hostage by the ones we love
That leave us behind
I can't be tough as nails
With this paper skin
And organs that fail
But life will moves on
And I'll go on too
My father was a working man
He worked all his life until he died
He fought for everything he had
I was the last to say goodbye
My father was a working man
He worked all his life until he died
I lived like him
I'll die like him
Remember me, remember
