"Where do I take this pain of mine
I run but it stays right by my side
So tear me open, pour me out
The things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me,
so hold me until it sleeps

Just like a curse, just like a stray
You feed it once and now it stays

So tear me open, but beware
The things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me until I'm clean

It grips you solely, it stains you solely
It hates you solely, it holds you solely

So tell me why you've choosen me
Don't want your grip, don't want your greed

Tear me open, make you gone,
No more can you hurt anyone
And the fear still shakes me,
So hold me until it sleeps

Tear me open, make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the hate still shakes me,
So hold me up until it sleeps"

-Until It Sleeps, written by James Hetfield of Metallica. The song is about cancer and how it killed both of Hetfield's parents. Being Christian Scientists, neither of them sought medical treatment, believing that faith and God would heal them. Both of Hetfield's parents succumbed to the disease.
