Begging from the floor
As you stare in the face of starvation
Sacrifice myself to secure your safety
I choked on the taste of tears
Begging from the floor
As you stare in the face of starvation
Sacrifice myself to secure your safety
I choked on the taste of tears
Til both of my eyes ran dry
Refusing to believe false prophets
That claimed you would not survive
[Chorus]
It's hard to breathe without you sleeping on my chest
Sick and withering from the whispers of your death
Forever your saviour, as much as you are mine
And for that I promise to protect you
Until the day I die
[Verse 2]
Clinging to what little you had come with
Until my fingernails scratched through to bone
Collapsing in arms of uncertainty
Knowing I could never let you go
[Pre-Breakdown]
Tearing out what's left of my insides
To spare you from your sickness
I promise to protect you
Until the day I die
[Breakdown]
Make your cancer mine
Make your cancer mine
[Chorus]
It's hard to breathe without you sleeping on my chest
Sick and withering from the whispers of your death
Forever your saviour, as much as you are mine
And for that I promise to protect you
Until the day I die
[Breakdown/Outro]
Make your cancer mine
Make your cancer mine
