Shattered Like Glass

Hanging from a noose
Wrapped tightly around my neck
The sentence passed in haste
The verdict incorrectHangman ties the blindfold
Life flashes before my eyes
I speak my last words
Why must I die?Trapped here in this bedroom
As the cancer eats away at me
Each and every day, I am withering away
Undergoing chemotherapyDisease consumes my body
The cure consumes my mind
Put me out of my misery
Just let me dieScreams of the dying
The silence of the dead
You won't last
Shattered like glass[Solo]Screams of the dying
The silence of the dead
Nothing lasts
Shattered like glassThrown through the front window
A thousand sudden lacerations
Injured and disfigured
Life becomes damnationCornered like an animal
I struggle to break free
Cannot face the horror
Of my own mortalityWe are falling into early gravesHelp me, I am dying
And I cannot see the light
Icy hands of death reach out
And pull me into the nightNothing ever lasts
You won't last
The long silence begins
You've been shattered
