Where He Lies

(Feel my body emotionless deep inside, I can)
(See my funeral already, this where he lies)
(I'm there by this big, cruel world that I reside in)
(This the world that I die in)

One day I woke up
I didn't know what was ahead of me
Had a routine check at the dentist
And after the scan they found somethin' they'd never seen
He said, "Look at the screen, this could be a mass"
"What does it mean?" That's all we could ask
I ended up gettin' a biopsy twice
And then the results came back

But I didn't know that yet
I was in school lookin' down at a test
But then when I left, I walked to the car
To see both of my parents there waitin'
This pain in my chest kept on creepin' inside
They're never both waitin' for me to arrive
And I had a feelin' that somethin' had happened
And right when I asked 'em, they both had this look in their eyes (eyes)

My sister got into the car (car)
And both of us started to panic (panic)
The feeling was manic
I said, "Tell me what's wrong" 'cause I couldn't stand it (stand it)
Madison Street
Halfway down towards moonlight
My mom had a tear down her cheek when she told her son he had cancer

That's when my soul left my body
And all I could see was the weakness I carried inside for the rest of the ride
I would be numb in my silence while all of my family would cry
Like, am I alive? What's there to live for?
Now, I'm a boy who was destined to die, like, why even try?
The boy who had dreams, the one who existed before this, arised

I can feel my body emotionless deep inside, I can
See my funeral already, this where he lies
I'm damned by this big cruel world that I reside in
This the world that I die in

Feel my body emotionless deep inside, I can
See my funeral already, this where he lies
I'm damned by this big cruel world that I reside in
This the world that I die in

But then I got out (got out)
I couldn't feel my feet when they hit the ground
I couldn't feel the beat when my heart would pound
I start to drown, tears runnin' down my face
And I'm wonderin' how all these tears have escaped
When I was so numb, and I ain't feel a thing
And that's how it felt for like all of my days

5 a.m. it was so early, it's the day of my surgery
This the day they would murder me, I felt nothin' internally
I didn't feel sadness
I was prepared for the worst, I assumed it would happen
The next thing I knew, I had a doctor surroundin' me
Markin' my face when they ripped cancer out of me (out of me)

Then we rolled out of the room
My parents had said their goodbyes (goodbyes)
I thought, in that moment, "I'm doomed"
They're takin' me to my demise (to my demise)
They lifted me onto the table, one of 'em looked in my eye (eye)
And asked me to move, then count up to ten
And all I remembered was five (five)

Feel my body emotionless deep inside, I can
See my funeral already, this where he lies
I'm damned by this big cruel world that I reside in
This the world that I die in

Feel my body emotionless deep inside, I can
See my funeral already, this where he lies
I'm damned by this big cruel world that I reside in
This the world that I die in
