Special Meaning

Not too many songs have I heard that made me feel that it had special meaning to me. I just heard a new song by My Chemical Romance called “Cancer”. Here are the lyrics.

Mother,
If you could get me a drink
Of water cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
and bury me
in all my favorite colors,
my sisters and my brothers, still,
I will not kiss you,
cause the hardest part of death,
is leaving you.

Turn away,
cause I’m awful just to see
cause all my hair’s abandoned all my body,
all my agony,
know that I will never marry,
My baby I’m just dying from the chemo
but counting down the days to go.

It’s guilty living
And I just hope you know
that if you say,
good-bye today,
I’d ask you to be true,
cause the hardest part of death,
is leaving you…

cause the hardest part of death,
is leaving you…
