[Verse 1]
Breath snatched in a hospital hall,
Echoes of a name that I can’t recall.
White walls, IV drips, they hum,
Future stolen, now we numb.
Heartbeat skips, but the clock don’t care,
Tubes tangle like a snake in despair.
Shadows dance under sterile light,
We fight, but the fight don’t feel right.
[Prechorus]
Dreams dissolve in saline streams,
Torn apart at the fraying seams.
[Chorus]
Cancer is a killer, don’t play fair,
Takes the strong, leaves you in despair.
Tears fall faster than the rain,
Love can’t cure, only hold the pain.
[Verse 2]
She whispers soft through the mask,
“Why me?” a question no one can ask.
Her hair, a memory on the pillow’s edge,
Promises broken like a splintered pledge.
Machines beep, a cold metronome,
This ain’t a house, just a borrowed home.
Every breath feels like a goodbye,
Wings clipped before they could fly.
