Chemo - Consolidated

If there’s anything that I could say

To make your pain go away

If there’s anything like a child

Who’ll turn your tears into a smile

Just a day like any other day

Summer vacation time to play

Came back at 11 A from the pool

Looking pale but you felt okay

Best thing is to take you into the doctor’s

Nothing in your life before really rocked us

Nervously we waited

When the nurse averted her eyes I knew it devastated

Now I know that there’s no god

When children have to suffer so hard

You’re only 5 years old with a heart of gold

And now you have an ancient soul

They say everything must happen for a reason

So what is the reason

They talk about things this heavy like religion

How was she chosen

How many animals must we kill

To make a cures that’s worse than your ills

You can’t erase a memory chip

When a child has the equivalent of a really bad trip

Another midnight run to the emergency room

And there’s nothing fun to do

Playing donkey kong while you wait for you i.

v

With a blood count that’s lower than h.i.v

Don’t know how you were dealt this tragic hand

And you can still pretend that you’re magic

I know you care when other kids stare

But fuck it

We’ll get a cute wig when you lose your hair

They say everything must happen for a reason

So what is the reason

They talk about things this heavy like religion

But she wasn’t chosen

I know it’s so unfair that this could happen

To anyone like you who so loves everybody

All you need to do is just have fun and keep on fighting

You rock

You’re so much stronger than anyone I’ve ever seen

If it takes longer we’ll do anything we need

Pick me up at the studio

We’ll get a pizza to go and a video

Kick it at the park or down in my basement

Time is all we have let’s not waste it

And with your magic wings you can fly

To a land of gumballs and pumpkin pie

We try not to cry while you make the best

Of getting shot through a port that goes through your chest

Only one outcome only one direction

So much will and so much connection

You’re doing things that I never thought possible

You’re one of a kind girl unstoppable

They say everything must happen for a reason

So what is the reason

They talk about things this heavy like religion

How was she chosen

I know it’s so unfair that this could happen

To anyone like you who so loves everybody

All you need to do is just have fun and keep on fighting

You rock
