i am cancer i am death caked in makeup i am the creaky floor boards in the attic i am the foul words that leave your mothers lips and the stench of the alcohol that rolls off your fathers tongue i creep through the walls at night looking for a light heart to help with the demons that haunt my every move i am torturous laughter and pitiful silence dont not get close to me i will burn everything you own leaving you bitter and weeping gasping for fresh air

i am cancer i am death caked in makeup i am the creaky floor boards in the attic i am the foul words that leave your mothers lips and the stench of the alcohol that rolls off your fathers tongue i creep through the walls at night looking for a light heart to help with the demons that haunt my every move i am torturous laughter and pitiful silence dont not get close to me i will burn everything you own leaving you bitter and weeping gasping for fresh air
