I just can’t remember

Lyrics

[INTRO]
Ding ding, that's my number on the screen
Come in, come in, said the doctor, regarding your scans

[VERSE 1]
We all agree, for you it's certain doom
Hah hah hah, the verdict's in, it's your time to pick a tomb
The diagnosis is grim, the machines are ice cold
I'm just a number, a patient to be controlled

[CHORUS]
I'm fighting to stay, but it's flickering away
Alas, at this point, I don't know why
I'm just trying to breathe, but it's hard to pretend
That I care, when the end is near, I must be condemned

[VERSE 2]
All this effort, just to stay alive
But what's the reason, I've lost my drive
No organic juice today, that's why I feel gross
Thanks for the therapy, I'm loving the stress

[CHORUS]
I'm fighting to stay, but it's flickering away
Alas, at this point, I don't know why
I'm just trying to breathe, but it's hard to pretend
That I care, when the end is near, I must be condemned

[BRIDGE]
And after they've played in my brain, zap zap
They'd like to keep a piece, my rare cancer's got a map
I'm a mutant, a specimen, no cure in sight
But what's the price, do I have to sacrifice my life?

[HOOK]
You're a rare disease, a treasure to behold
A medical oddity, but my life is growing old

[VERSE 3]
Well well well, that's a pretty box
The new rental? Make the thumb screws tight
I wouldn't want to startle the clown while they play my song
Don’t stay after, for when it’s done I’m in the oven, is that where I belong?

[CHORUS]
I'm fighting to stay, but it's flickering away
Alas, at this point, I don't know why
I'm just trying to breathe, but it's hard to pretend
That I care, when the end is near, I must be condemned

[OUTRO]
Ding ding, that's my number on the screen
Come in, come in, said the doctor, it's the end, it seems.
