They talked "stats," "percentages," "odds"... But all I heard was "time is running out." Every single cell became a traitor. Every chromosome — an enemy. White room, the echo hits like a gunshot blast The life I knew is collapsing, fading in the past. Three words burned my value system to the ground Life split in two — there’s no "before" to be found. It’s not a seasonal flu, not just a common cold These terms weigh a ton, no miracle to be told. Medical dictionary striking hard at the nerves You’re the target in this game, not a guy in the reserves. Tumor. Metastasis. Chemo. The beam. Clouds over my life, shattering the dream. Prognosis blank, silence in the empty field Under my feet, the ground has no shield. Doctors hide their eyes, pity in the glare No guarantees here, you’re the one sitting there. The disease writes the rules, not your fist in the fight You’re in a warzone, with an enemy out of sight. Calendar turned into a cold graph chart Life’s just IVs, tearing me apart. Days ruled by doses, not dates on the wall No future plans, just a medical call. Counting every breath, minutes in the haze Locked in this battle, trapped in a maze. Morning check: Am I alive? Do they open the door? Am I still here? Or just a ghost on the floor? I can feel it: the war is deep inside Cell against cell, DNA nowhere to hide. This ain't a metaphor, it’s a slaughter, you see The battleground is my body, my destiny. I’m screaming through the pain, when the odds are all zero Fire in my soul, playing the part of the hero. I’m a chromosome riot, I won't bow or go As long as my heart beats, I believe in my star’s glow! I’m screaming through the pain, when the odds are all zero Fire in my soul, playing the part of the hero. I’m a chromosome riot, I won't bow or go As long as my heart beats, I believe in my star’s glow! Chemo is friendly fire, burning down the core Inside this war, ashes on the floor. The enemy’s dying with me, nausea’s my mate Hair in the sink—God, why this fate? Pain’s got the address, moved into my bones In every nerve center, it’s taking the thrones. Pills are just a truce, fragile peace of mind But every sunrise, the fighting is the grind. IV lines spinning, like a Möbius loop Hope, crash, treatment—caught in the soup. Monday: Judgment day, blood test report The numbers decide if I’m holding the fort. Looking at my family, fear in their eyes They hide the cracks while they sympathize. Fighting for their sleep, for the smile they show Gotta survive for them, gotta strike the final blow. I’m screaming through the pain, when the odds are all zero Fire in my soul, playing the part of the hero. I’m a chromosome riot, I won't bow or go As long as my heart beats, I believe in my star’s glow! I’m screaming through the pain, when the odds are all zero Fire in my soul, playing the part of the hero. I’m a chromosome riot, I won't bow or go As long as my heart beats, I believe in my star’s glow! How much can I take? The pain grew so deep It’s part of my soul, while the nightmares creep. I dream of waking up without this noose Memory fading, gotta cut the thoughts loose! Tired of 4 AM, staring at these walls Every sunrise is a silent hit-parade that calls. I want silence, want to breathe out the poison Forget the tile, forget this hospital prison. I’m screaming through the pain, when the odds are all zero Fire in my soul, playing the part of the hero. I’m a chromosome riot, I won't bow or go As long as my heart beats, I believe in my star’s glow! I’m screaming through the pain, when the odds are all zero Fire in my soul, playing the part of the hero. I’m a chromosome riot, I won't bow or go As long as my heart beats, I believe in my star’s glow! Maybe tomorrow... Maybe tomorrow... So, tomorrow... (And for now...) (I’m just breathing...) And that’s already a victory..
