lyrics

It's been two weeks since my mother died of lung cancer. Her husband had died of it two years before. She never smoked, but the Doctor said, "this type of cancer had nothing to do with smoking." I asked the Doctor if she was in pain, he said, "no." I asked my Uncle, who was a doctor, if she was in pain, he said, "yes."

"But," he said, "that they start giving people with terminal illness like this more and more liquid morphine."

It basically starts shutting your body down from the feet and hands inward; they would go numb.

Then the legs and the arms would freeze, the jaw would slack open until the only muscle still working was the heart. That's when the increase in morphine would come. The body's failure to fight the cancer and the brains' inability to send messages to the body shuts everything down.

He never said, "and then she dies," she shuts down. It was more mechanical and when you think of it like that, it's kinda the way to go. Say your goodbyes and then rot away in a feeling-less coma until you quit. You won't know it.
