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?
