A Cancer Uncontained (Reimagined)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You were once invincible, your head help 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 [Pre-Chorus] But your hands won't stop, your hands won't stop shaking No your hands won't stop, your hands won't stop shaking God was never too fair to you or me Gave you a beating heart, then gave you atrophy A body built to degenerate but you keep breathing all the same [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] But 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Father, I know your hands won't stop shaking They won't stop shaking But those lungs still breathe so don't give up on me
