You are the cancer spreading its wings
So selfishly unaware to the things
Resistance is fuel into my well-being
I feel my heart leaking
You start as a fissure, a crack in the skin
You become an ulcer permeating
If I had known about you to
Would it be soon, what I do to you?
I don't want to hate you, but how could I not?

It's getting harder and harder to breathe
