Malignant Words
Cut this cancer from my heart
It causes my soul to bleed
An empty echo filled with pain
Where peace can't intercede
Confusion has become my hiding place
Words, just a means to an end
My thoughts cry out in solitude
Looking for a way to ascend
Repetition is now just a prison
My memories, just scars from the past
My dreams fade away like a mist in the night
That are destined never to last
Hope, an illusion, no more than a myth
A lie just meant to deceive
Forgiveness, a promise born to be broken
A promise you'll never receive
Cut this cancer from my heart
Before I surely die
Malignant words I can't survive
Words like the sound of goodbye
