Текст песни The Cancer - Teelow

It's friggin dark man

This is the cancer
Something 'bout the cells unfolding in me
Silent killer that's been growing in me
This is the cancer
Something 'bout the cells unfolding in me
Silent killer that's been growing in me
This is the cancer
Something 'bout the cells unfolding in me
Silent killer that's been growing in me

Look
I'm like my Dad in more ways than I thought at first
I love Jesus, I hate going church
I love eating, I know it's my way to the hearse
But while I'm breathing I know I'm way cleaner after the dirt
I watch him watching us through a lens, I wonder when
The documenting of his kin had first occurred to him
We're not as close as we were because we're men
Only when we see each other is the time we check in
He asks me "how's the tour?"
I ask him how work is
We never been so surface
Maybe 'cause we got the same demons
I know that women are my weakness
I know my uncle cheated
It's difficult to speak 'cause once you see it you can't unsee it
I can't say I'll ever really wanna know his secrets
Because they might be like mine, then how do I escape
If it's not just me but a generational trait?
Yeah

Something 'bout the cells unfolding in me
Silent killer that's been growing in me
This is the cancer
Something 'bout the cells unfolding in me
Silent killer that's been growing in me
This is the cancer
Something 'bout the cells unfolding in me
Silent killer that's been growing in me

I wonder how I look to people close to me
I wonder if 17 year old me would notice me
I don't even recognise my thoughts at times
They're wrought with crimes and all sorts of types of
Names that disappeared from this age
Showing their privates on a screen, shaking ass on a stage
Innocent face of a page boy, wanted to be a saint
'Til the internet gave him free reign to be a slave
To whatever desire would creep up, yeah
I fear I'm creepy
I don't trust my eyes, around your wife I wouldn't leave me
I don't think I would act on it but the mind is deceiving
And my eyes aren't leaving her behind, I'm really sneaky with it
Easy with it, greasy misfit never needed business
With peers, means I never got checked like receiving ticks
It's pretty ironic, the friendships that I know I ruined
Being horny, direct or indirect, the thoughts were looming
And that stitched me up but I run despite the pain
The rain and the heat make it steamy inside the brain
My thoughts conflict with the goodness is what I'm tryna say
50 million in debt but I'm still tryna play
One more roll until that triple 7, know I'm silky
Quick in the sonics but still prickly, I spoke so chilly
Back in the day, it's no wonder why they didn't stay
I'm left alone, dark in the light, looks something like Ray

Something 'bout the cells unfolding in me
Silent killer that's been growing in me
Something 'bout the cells unfolding in me
Silent killer that's been growing in me
Something 'bout the cells unfolding in me
Silent killer that's been growing in me
Something 'bout the cells unfolding in me
Silent killer that's been growing in me
