[Intro]
[soft fingerpicked guitar
Lonely violin line]
Breath on the window glass
Night stuck in my throat
They said this storm would pass
But it carved my bones
[Verse 1]
Pills on the bedside
Names I can’t pronounce
Calendar bleeding
Days I never count
Shadows in X-rays
Ghosts in every scan
Stared at the ceiling
Dared it to make plans
[Chorus]
Cancer venom
Kick back (kick back)
You don’t own this blood of mine
I’m stronger
Better
Burning through the dark this time
Cancer venom
Sit down
Hear my heartbeat
Feel it bite
I’m winning
I’m living
This is my life
My life
[Verse 2]
Hair in the sink drain
Mirror picking fights
Shaking in the shower
Cursing at the light
But rage is a river
Runs under my skin
You hit like a hammer
I hit back again
[Chorus]
Cancer venom
Kick back (hey!)
You don’t own this blood of mine
I’m stronger
Better
Burning through the dark this time
Cancer venom
Sit down
Hear my heartbeat
Feel it bite
I’m winning
I’m living
This is my life
My life
[Bridge]
I am not your headline
Not your tragic tale
Every scar
A battle mark
You thought I would fail
I am not your whisper
I’m a broken shout
You can take my breath away
But you can’t drown me out (no)
[Chorus]
Cancer venom
Kick back
You don’t own this blood of mine
I’m stronger
Better
Burning through the dark this time
Cancer venom
Stand down
Hear my heartbeat
Feel it bite
I’m winning
I’m living
This is my life
This is my life
(my life, my life)
