Say in vain
There is now no fucking way
That I would measure up
To the standards I should heed
The tenants of the human race
I know how long I've been the sum of my parts
A pile of ones and zeros
Can you see the cancer in my brain is digging deeper in?
Slowly swallowing
Cause I'm the wraith holding the sails
At my own neck
What's left to know
You knew that I was no saint
And I don't want to say what you say
This disease is the cure
Can you see the cancer in my brain is digging deeper in?
Slowly swallowing
Cause I'm the wraith holding the sails
At my own neck
Maybe, just maybe fate will cut me one last break
Cause it's black
But it's all that I'm used to
A stranger waiting to emerge
And claim what I once was
Can you see the cancer in my brain is digging deeper in?
Slowly swallowing
Cause I'm the wraith holding the sails
At my own neck
Death means nothing to men like me
It's the event that proves them right
And the sails still at my neck
The cancer is sinking, sinking, sinking
