THE CANCER IS YOU!
i. defying destiny / ii. the cancer is you! / iii. unheard prayers
I. defying destiny
[Intro: Brann]
I inundate my hands damning Roswell's name
Taking full command never was my aim
How could I predict he'd eat so much guilt
As he tied his wrists to the cage he built?
But I must be strong, eyes are all on me
If I right his wrongs, Stanley might concede
Once the deed is done, we can both walk free
Through the dimension of his alt. reality
My life
Has led
To this
Moment in time
No matter the pain
Drill the crown into my
Semi-functional brain
Let this work!
Let this work!
Let this work...
II. the cancer is you!
[Break: X]
Have I got a message for you
You worthless parasite!
[Verse: X (& Scotty McRib)]
(LIES!)
I can't be less surprised
That none of your disgusting wealth
can buy back all the time you've wasted
(LIES!)
My whole entire life
Was built on empty promises that drowned us
in the blood you've tasted
(The blood you've tasted!)
[Verse: X (& Scotty McRib)]
(FEAR!)
Your sins are so severe
Like God would let a narcissistic leech like you
inside of Heaven
(FEAR!)
With prayers so insincere
You might as well have sold your soul to Satan
just to live forever
And leech off the lesser
Imbibing their blood pressure
[Pre-chorus: Scotty McRib]
One minute longer would be way too long
To fawn on the ones who have done us so wrong
Expecting respect while injecting their lies
So kill what you will, 'cause you're still gonna die!
[Chorus: X]
(THE CANCER IS YOU!)
Obsessed with infecting
(THE CANCER IS YOU!)
There's no use projecting
(THE CANCER IS YOU!)
It's all that you see, 'cause the cancer is you
And now it's in me
[Pre-verse: X]
So here we are
Your proud boys, your soy boys,
your snowflakes, your mistakes
With sentences to serve
But how many times must we pay for your crimes
Till we finally see you grant us
the respect that we deserve?!
[Verse: X (& Scotty McRib)]
(HATE!)
The chaos you create
You said you fight for peace and love on Earth,
and yet you fight for no one
(HATE!)
The family that you ate
Your job is done, yet still you double down
and sacrifice your own son
Then shoot him with your gun
For not getting off your lawn
[Pre-chorus: Scotty McRib (& X)]
One second longer would take too damn long
To fawn on the ones who have done us so wrong
Expecting respect while injecting their lies
So kill what you will, 'cause you're still gonna die
(You're still gonna die!)
[Chorus:X]
(THE CANCER IS YOU!)
Obsessed with infecting
(THE CANCER IS YOU!)
There's no use projecting
(THE CANCER IS YOU!)
It's all that you see, 'cause the cancer is you
And now it's in me
[Bridge: Scotty McRib (& X)]
(It's not sinking in)
(It's not sinking in)
(It's not sinking in)
(It's not sinking in)
One second more would be too goddamn long
To fawn on the ones who have done us so wrong
Expecting respect while injecting their lies
So swallow your sword, 'cause we're all gonna die
I'LL GORE YOU BEFORE YOU CAN SUBDUE THE WHEEL
I'LL SNUFF ME BEFORE YOU CONTROL HOW I FEEL
I'LL LAUGH AS YOU DIE ON YOUR HILL MADE OF PRIDE
NOW GO BLAME THE MASSES THAT YOU'VE PRIVATIZED
[Chorus: All]
THE CANCER IS YOU
THE CANCER IS YOU
IT'S NOT SINKING IN THAT THE CANCER IS YOU
THE CANCER IS YOU
THE CANCER IS YOU
IT'S NOT SINKING IN THAT THE CANCER IS YOU
THE CANCER IS YOU
THE CANCER IS YOU
IT'S NOT SINKING IN THAT THE CANCER IS YOU
THE CANCER IS YOU
THE CANCER IS YOU
IT'S NOT SINKING IN THAT THE CANCER IS YOU!!!
III. unheard prayers
[Bridge: Roswell (& Stanley)]
I regret every lie that I told to myself
When I look back at this wreckage, I can blame no one else
Had I given Brann a chance, we could face the unknown
If I can finish what he started, only then will I atone, now
I've come to pay my dues
(You're on your own now)
I bear momentous news
(You're on your own now)
I'll do what you advise
(You're on your own now)
Don't leave our men cannibalized
(You're on your own now)
(Listen to me; you've got a lot of nerve calling me)
(Weren't you the one who said that I held you back?)
(I tried to help you, but you could not let it be)
(Maybe it's time you look inside and reflect)
