Thursday - You Were The Cancer lyrics
rate me<BR>
It's the sigh of a building falling down <br>
It's the world spinning us around <br>
It's the slip of the surgeon's knife <br>
Darker crimes of common existence <br>
It's a missile sleeping in the ground <br>
It's a camera trying to photograph a sound <br>
It's a case for the basic flaw <br>
Ending a film in the coming attractions <br>
It's a sound that's spinning out of control <br>
It's a light at the edge of a black hole <br>
Scream of an orchestra <br>
Total collapse of an overreaction <br>
<br>
In your blood there is a sad, sad song <br>
Bleeding through your nervous system <br>
It's killing you but it's bringing me along <br>
You were the cancer in my life <br>
You were the cancer all the time <br>
You were the cancer <br>
That's all you'll ever be <br>
<br>
It's comfort in a bathtub full of ice <br>
It's the promise of a peaceful afterlife <br>
Or the string of a violin wound too tight <br>
It's gasping for oxygen <br>
It's the signal that's sent out over the air <br>
At the speed of a thousand unheard prayers <br>
Faith in the chemicals <br>
A shot in the dark the size of a particle <br>
It's blood from the neon sign <br>
Shine a light away from your insides <br>
Make a map of the balance <br>
Watching life slip through your hands <br>
They're not for shaking <br>
They're not for praying <br>
They're just for holding close <br>
Everything you love that is fragile in a dream <br>
<br>
See, you're coming down <br>
Noone knows where <br>
See, you're coming down <br>
Without a prayer <br>
<br>
You were the cancer in my life <br>
You were the cancer all the time <br>
You were the cancer <br>
That's all you'll ever be <br>
<br>
Your blood is a sad, sad song <br>
Bleeding through your nervous system <br>
It's killing you but it's bringing me along <br>
<br>
It's a sound that's spinning out of control <br>
It's a light at the edge of a black hole <br>
Scream of an orchestra <br>
Total collapse of an overreaction <br>
<br>
You were the cancer in my life <br>
You were the cancer all the time <br>
You were the cancer <br>
That's all you'll ever be <br>
You were the cancer in my life <br>
You were the cancer all the time <br>
You were the cancer <br>
That's all you'll ever be<br>
<BR><BR>
<BR>
