You Were the Cancer

It's the sigh of a building falling down

It's the world spinning us around

It's the slip of the surgeon's knife

Darker crimes of common existenceIt's a missile sleeping in the ground

It's a camera trying to photograph a sound

It's a case for the basic flaw

Ending a film in the coming attractionsIt's a sound that's spinning out of control

It's a light at the edge of a black hole

Scream of an orchestra

Total collapse of an overreactionIn your blood there is a sad, sad song

Bleeding through your nervous system

It's killing you but it's bringing me alongYou were the cancer in my life

You were the cancer all the time

You were the cancer

That's all you'll ever beIt's comfort in a bathtub full of ice

It's the promise of a peaceful afterlife

Or the string of a violin wound too tight

It's gasping for oxygenIt's the signal that's sent out over the air

At the speed of a thousand unheard prayers

Faith in the chemicals

A shot in the dark the size of a particleIt's blood from the neon sign

Shine a light away from your insides

Make a map of the balance

Watching life slip through your handsThey're not for shaking

They're not for praying

They're just for holding close

Everything you love that is fragile in a dreamSee, you're coming down

No one knows where

See, you're coming down

Without a prayerYou were the cancer in my life

You were the cancer all the time

You were the cancer

That's all you'll ever beYour blood is a sad, sad song

Bleeding through your nervous system

It's killing you and it's bringing me alongIt's a sound that's spinning out of control

It's a light at the edge of a black hole

Scream of an orchestra

Total collapse of an overreactionYou were the cancer in my life

You were the cancer all the time

You were the cancer

That's all you'll ever beYou were the cancer in my life

You were the cancer all the time

You were the cancer

That's all you'll ever be
