Analysis of Cancer (TW for mention of su!c!de)



These cancer cells,
They’re spreading fast.
These cancer cells
Poison me from the inside out.
These cancer cells
Inside my head,
These cancer cells
Are urging me to be dead.
These cancer cells
Are deadly and quick,
And I’m starting to die within.
These cancer cells
Are killing me slowly,
Painfully,
And it’s only a matter of time
Before I’m completely destroyed
By my head full of poison.
