about

"The song was written after a conversation I had with my mother late one night. She had just lost her 3 best friends that year, all to cancer.
We talked about the hopelessness of watching it happen and about being left behind.
As we grow up we go through a lot with our friends, birthdays, weddings, the births of our children, hard times, good times and then inevitably death. The cruel cyclical nature of life and the indiscriminate nature of cancer" - Fiachra Treacy .

lyrics

You called me over
Said you were under
Said that your science
Pulled you asunder

But I am not your answer
You are not my answer
Give me your skin and
I’ll be your cancer

Said you were numb and
You’d lost your hunger
Said all your shipwrecks
Had pulled you under
But I am not your answer
You are not my answer
Said you were willing to take your chances

Well lets not talk about that
Maybe it will just go away
You’re worried about your friends
All of them seem to fall away

You said look now you’ll be fine without me
You’ll suffer no doubt without me
You’ll be my loss I’ll carry the cross
You’ll be the thoughts that can’t be
Chased by the pills or powder
Chased till my final hour
There’s nothing to change familiar strange
Shadowed beneath your tower
There’s nothing to do about this
You’ve broken the frame that bound this
You’re calling the shots controlling the plot
I just run along beside this
If I could get through one minute
Without you appearing in it
A picture of you as someone I knew
An old friend that pays a visit

Well lets not talk about that
Maybe it will just go away
You’re worried about your friends
All of them seem to fall away
And if we talk about that
What’s there left to say anyway
I’m worried about my friends
All of them seem to fall away.
