The smile and pain you show outside hides the pain within
It hides the drink and smoking till you commit another sin
Cancer is your many demons it invades your soul and heart
An invasion of your world and it rips your life till you depart
The demons never leave and each day it will surely change
But deep inside your hopes fade and the demons still remain
With every new day that starts a new hope will now begin
But before the new day has ended you commit another sin
