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
