See that child without a dad
See the life it never had
See that child without a home
That child has always been alone
That child has grown into a skin
Bigger than it’s heart has ever been
But it never became a man
Cause it cannot stand without a helping hand
This so called man one day became
A father frightened and ashamed
One that never kept his pain inside
Instead he took it out on his child
“This whole world revolves around me
And I want everyone to see
Come and take a look at me
At my pain and misery”
"This whole world revolves around me"
(You’re the cancer man)
"And I want everyone to see"
(You’re the cancer man)
"Come and take a look at me"
(You’re the cancer man)
"At my pain and misery"
His fragile mind and fragile heart
Tore his little boy’s one so apart
Now his child has now grown to be a man
One that will never understand
You never loved her, never cared
But still you fucked her, never dared
To look around you, see the scars
Still you broke a thousand hearts
Your not a father not a man
You never lend’ a helping hand
It’s not the truth, you always lied
How could you do this to your child?
And now that you could maybe die
This tumor growing deep inside
Oh how I cared for father’s life
But still you played me, still you lied
But there's a bigger ulcer growing in your mind
And it's one of the aggressive kind
Which made you say:
„With you as my child
I don’t want to survive“
You’re the cancer man
You’re the cancer man
You’re the cancer man
You’re the cancer man
You’re the cancer man
You’re the cancer man
You’re the cancer man
You’re the cancer man
You’re the cancer man
You’re the cancer man
You’re the cancer man
I don’t want you anymore
I never needed you before
(Inaudible)
You’re the cancer man
You’re the cancer man
You’re the cancer man
I don’t want you anymore
I never needed you before
You’re not a father not a man
And I will never understand
Is everything the way you planned?
Is this how your life should end?
Now that this is where we stand
I will not lend my helping hand
Was this the way that you had planned
For your little ugly life to end?

Young child he cannot decide
He was told to choose a side
Cut his heart in two
Innocence is born to lose
Both sides lies don't form a lie
Break the courage, steal the youth
Cut his heart in two
Innocence is born to lose
He will not be whole again
Tied to the umbilical chain
Begs for them to end the pain
Skin may have turned older
Still no one consoled the
Child inside still can't decide

helpless child Hanover, Germany
helpless child is a music project by Carl Luca Hofmann.
A bit more open to popular song
structures while trying to maintain a bit of that "what do I know what it is" attitude.
