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
