Invisible Metastasis

You felt the lump and called it nothing
Put off till later what was screaming inside
It's probably nothing, must be exhaustion
And the clock kept counting, counting

Metastasis, metastasis
Tearing the body in silence
Metastasis, metastasis
You called it fear, it was a sentence

Six months turned into a year of soon I will
The pain became routine, the blood became warning
Now it's too late, the stage is four
And the doctor has no more euphemisms

Every exam you postponed
Is one more cell that multiplied

Metastasis, metastasis
Tearing the body in silence
Metastasis, metastasis
You called it fear, it was a sentence

Denial doesn't cure
Ignoring doesn't cure
The body doesn't forgive
Those who pretend not to hear

Metastasis, metastasis
Devoured the time you wasted
Metastasis, metastasis
Now pray for what you ignored

You called it fear, it was a sentence
