Cancer
The time has gone away
It's slipped through my hands
It seems like yesterday
I was a much younger man
Now all I feel inside is grey
Cause I'm filled with disease
The cancer has come
To take what's left of me
They say I don't have long
Before my time is gone
That I should make amends
With all my family and friends
I cry to God for more time
Just a little more and I'll be fine
All I hear is the empty air
An overwhelming silence of despair
I feel the life seeping from my skin
The time has come to pay for my sins
I feel my heartbeat start to slow
I begin to wonder how hot it is below
I look to see that no one is here
Being alone was my greatest fear
The last breath begins to escape from me
Only in death am I finally free
