A Cancer Uncontained

Once invincible, your head held up so high
 Who knew this disease would change it all in the blink of an eye?
 Try to survive father of mine
 Who knew this world would have given you such a cruel twist of fate?
 No, your hands won't stop, your hands won't stop shaking
 No, your hands won't stop, your hands won't stop shaking
 God wasn't so fair to you or me
 Gave you a beating heart, then gave you atrophy
 A body built to degenerate and you keep breathing all the same
 Father, it kills me to see you so helpless
 When all you ever wanted was a way out
 And you were only given nothing but a wife who packs and leaves, and a crippling disease
 That eats away at your body but not your soul
 
 That heart's still got a beat, so don't you dare give up on me now
 Try to survive father of mine
 You know it breaks my heart to watch those tremors take over
 No, your hands won't stop, your hands won't stop shaking
 No, your hands won't stop, your hands won't stop shaking
 Infection spreads so quick with no cure in sight
 A cancer uncontained but you still fight
 It can't rip away everything about the man I knew
 The one who picked me up after all I've been through
 Father, it kills me to see you so helpless
 When all you ever wanted was a way out
 And you were only given nothing but a wife who packs and leaves, and a crippling disease
 That eats away, oh, it eats away
 I understand why you're terrified to close your eyes each night
 It's the fear of never waking up
 You have so much more to see
 So I'll do all I can to keep that fucking heart beating
 ♪
 Father, I know your hands won't stop shaking
 But those lungs still breathe, so don't give up on me
