The degression,
of my progression,
shows I'm suddenly losing steam.

This here disease,
is killing me,
and I can't fight off this cancer.

I am willing,
to fight this killing,
but will power,
ain't enough.

So I'll sit here,
and fight the fear,
of dying,
and of suffering,
through it all.
Suffering,
through it all.

My life bleeds,
as this disease,
slowly eats me whole.

From the inside,
to the outside,
there's no escape from being devoured.

So I'll sit here,
and fight the fear,
of dying,
and of suffering,
through it all.
Suffering,
through it all.

I surrender,
to the illness,
and it takes control.

I'll just lay here,
no longer fear,
dying,
because I'm gone.

Gone.
