The Infested
Waiting Game
I spent my whole life waiting, for the day I would drop dead
Convinced that I was dying, deep down and buried in my head
The doctors just ignored all the issues I addressed
They sent me on my way and ignored everything I'd said
Suddenly the pain, is far too much to bare
I give it one last shot, with the docs who didn't care
Next thing I know I'm under, losing part of me
Playing the waiting game to see if I've got the disease

You ignored me, you dismissed me
You left me to rot and humiliatеd me

I'm laying here sorе and thinkin' of the worst
Two weeks still to go, the results are gonna hurt
Is it all for nothing, or has my life been spared?
I can't believe it’s real, now I'm pretty fuckin' scared
My back's started to ache, has this mother fucker spread?
I feel so isolated, there's nowhere to go but bed
I'm counting down the days, until the scan results are in
My life's changed just like that, what a mess I've gotten in

And just like that, I'm laying on my back
My dignity remains in pieces
I can't stand or walk, I'm pissin' in bottles
I hope for this that death's been cheated
And just like that, I'm laying in a bed
Three drips of chemo running through my veins
Nine weeks of hell, vomit, hair loss as well
I've lost count of all the pills they gave me

And just like that, my stitches are oozing crap
I can't face to walk in case my sides split
My face, swelled up, I don't look the same no more
My skin is dry and I can't taste shit
Headaches all night, the end don't seem in sight
My veins are scabbed from all the needles
My lungs feel tight, rapid breathing this can't be right
It's only day two of this battle
