๐ Lyrics
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 existence
It's a missile that's 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 attractions
It's a cell 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 overreaction
In your blood there is a sad, sad song
Circulating through your nervous system
It's killing you, but it's bringing me along
You were the cancer in my life
You were the cancer all the time
You were the cancer
That's all you'll ever be
It'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 oxygen
It's the signal that's sent out over the air
At the speed of a thousand unheard prayers
It's the faith in the chemicals
A shot in the dark, the size of a particle
It's the blood from the neon sign
Trying to light a way through your insides
Make a map of the badlands
Watch your life slip through your hands
They're not for shaking
They're not for praying
They're just for holding close
Everything you love in this fragile little dream
I see you're coming down
And no one knows where
I see you're coming down
Without a prayer
You were the cancer in my life
You were the cancer all the time
You were the cancer
That's all you'll ever be
Your blood is a sad, sad song
Circulating through your nervous system
It's killing you, but it's bringing me along
It's a cell 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 overreaction
You were the cancer in my life
You were the cancer all the time
You were the cancer
That's all you'll ever be
You were the cancer in my life
You were the cancer all the time
You were the cancer
That's all you'll ever be
It's the world spinning us around
It's the slip of the surgeon's knife
Darker crimes of common existence
It's a missile that's 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 attractions
It's a cell 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 overreaction
In your blood there is a sad, sad song
Circulating through your nervous system
It's killing you, but it's bringing me along
You were the cancer in my life
You were the cancer all the time
You were the cancer
That's all you'll ever be
It'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 oxygen
It's the signal that's sent out over the air
At the speed of a thousand unheard prayers
It's the faith in the chemicals
A shot in the dark, the size of a particle
It's the blood from the neon sign
Trying to light a way through your insides
Make a map of the badlands
Watch your life slip through your hands
They're not for shaking
They're not for praying
They're just for holding close
Everything you love in this fragile little dream
I see you're coming down
And no one knows where
I see you're coming down
Without a prayer
You were the cancer in my life
You were the cancer all the time
You were the cancer
That's all you'll ever be
Your blood is a sad, sad song
Circulating through your nervous system
It's killing you, but it's bringing me along
It's a cell 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 overreaction
You were the cancer in my life
You were the cancer all the time
You were the cancer
That's all you'll ever be
You were the cancer in my life
You were the cancer all the time
You were the cancer
That's all you'll ever be
