Cancerous
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Only in the recesses of my mind
I can never forget this
Like a cancer that never leaves this body
I'll lose all my hair fighting you
I rebuild & regrow
Yet a piece of you still remains
I spend most of my days
With a smile on my face
But in the depths of sleep
You reveal yourself
In the most viscous of ways
You torment me at night
& leave me silent for days
I wish for this cancerous being
To leave & just go away
Stay away
Just go on your own way
I offered you up
Needed some closure
I'll reconstruct your fucking neck
The writing on your walls is false
So why don't you live it?
I feel the need to spit in your face
So badly
I want to spit in your fucking face
Terrible numbness consumes my mornings
Until I've satisfied the coping
With this mourning
Wash me away & leave me for the wasps
I need to know have you found happiness
Or finally uncovered your cowardice
You are the plague
Your future looks so vague
Are we living?
Are we living?
Or are we dying?
Are we dying?
Are we the lost?
Are we the lost?
Or are we just the forgotten?
This bane & burden
This calamity
This pestilence
We are the cure
You are cancerous
I've had enough of this
You are cancerous
We've had enough of this
