Words by: Henry Burton

When they tell me I have cancer
They better have an answer
I don't wanna spend the rest of my days
My cells being taken away
I'll have another heart attack
When they tell me I'm in relapse
And I won't hesitate to choke someone
If they say I have a breathing problem

My bones break like
The 40 oz bottles I drink
Which started as a hobby
To help me become healthy
I guess they only really hurt
Which is something I learned
I've lost hope for medicine
To save me and the ones hurting

Radiation seeds better help
Take away the cancer cells
And grow into a blossomed rose
Like how the body was years ago
Health problems hearts broken
Patients wake up with chests open
Anesthesia wore out too soon
The family never found out the truth

Fight your fucking heart outside
Survive oh please please please survive
So stand at attention
Pick up your weapon
March onto stage 2
Cause I believe in you
Don't let it shoot you down
You've got all of us around

When they tell me I have cancer
I don't know how I'll answer
Either as a very broken man
Or as a general in command
But all I probably do
Is do the same as you
And tell everybody I'll be fine
Just keep me in the pros-act state of mind

Radiation seeds better help
Take away the cancer cells
And grow into a blossomed rose
Like how the body was years ago
Health problems hearts broken
Patients wake up with chests open
Anesthesia wore out too soon
The family never found out the truth
