Cancer of the Brain

by Soulful Ensemble   Oct 6, 2008


What am I doing here
In this empty room full of tears
with holes and all sorts of fears
that fill an empty belly thats very near
to my heart that is asking for a cheer?

What am I doing, and what's happening here
In my heart that is not specially clear?
When it tells me what is going on
My soul seems to stay down and yawn
Like a lonely wolf that waits for the dawn.

Brain cancer sets in on a lonely moon
That sells thoughts while its half full.
Nobody's buying the poisoned lungs that loom
With fake smiles that trickery does pull.

Brain cancer comes quick like shattering glass
That gleams on the sidewalk always half mast
And the boat rows fast but doesn't really move
Because nobody's heart is in it for fools.

Who wants to save a lonely fool?
Everyone has their own brain cancer to cure.
Nobody gives a hand or a tool
To help a man that used to be cool
And now only knows how to drool.

We are moving along a road that never ends
And nobody would back you up if you fell.
You have to watch out for yourself?
Where is love? Doesn't love place misery on a shelf?
Doesn't love always come to save itself?
Don't you all know about love yourselves?
Looking outside at the world I can't say you care.

Cancer of the brain is coming soon
So I'm trapped in a bunker with a harpoon
To fight off sharks that always loom
In darkness where you can't even see the moon.

A heart isn't shaped like a heart its true
It looks more like a blob of drool.
But when cancer of the brain comes through
Every piece of your heart will rule.

Keep your heart well-fed
Just like every part of you
So when everything starts to crumble
And the walls all rumble
The sun will shine out from you.
