Lyric discussion by Onigiri 

Cover art for Cancer lyrics by My Chemical Romance

I absolutely love this song. For so long I had claimed Prison as my favorite song. Heh. But I think that Cancer has taken that role now. I first heard it at the Hammersmith gig. Lots of people were crying, myself included, and my mum had to step outside, heh. So, it is such an emotional song, and it's a hundred times more emotional when you hear it live, I think. My grandpa recently died from cancer, so this song means so much to me. It hurts every time to listen to it because I'm definitely not over his death. But even though it's painful to think about, this song is so brutally honest that it's just the kind of song I need.
