There's an invasion spreading slowly

Through the inches of my body

To hold this disturbing secret

Too painful for eyes to see

Any echoes from this illness

Create pain in many places

Strike fear in familiar hearts

That await to be freed

And I feel it live inside me

And I feel it breathe the air I breathe

And I feel it feed upon me

And I feel it and take me right to the grave

This invasion slowly cripples me

Paralyze my mind and body

leaves me happy breathing

In a place I cannot see

This agent driven faster

Through the temple by my motor

How can we catch a cancer

That runs on our own steam?
