Allie X - Tumor
[Verse 1]
They love to love you, love to love you when you’re up
They never touch you, never touch your blood and guts
In neverland, you’re never free
You see what you want to see
I’ve been watching the swelling grow
I‘ve always known
[Chorus]
When this is over, I'll need a surgery
Cause you were a tumor
You'll leave a hole inside of me
It’s high risk, not hopeless, I'm conscious
When this is over, when this is over
I'll still be letting it grow
[Verse 2]
Wish I could say, wish I could say I didn’t know
But I had the vision, had the feeling all along
Still I followed, I took your lead
Swallowed the toxic, magic weeds
I’ve been watching the swelling grow
I‘ve always known
[Chorus]
When this is over, I'll need a surgery
Cause you were a tumor
You'll leave a hole inside of me
It’s high risk, not hopeless, I'm conscious
When this is over, when this is over
I'll still be letting it grow
[Outro]
I'll still be letting it grow
I'll still be letting it grow
I'll still be letting it grow
I'll still be letting it grow
I'll still be letting it grow
“Tumor” narrates a relationship that has turned sinister and damaging, but neither party acknowledges the downfall and ultimate damage. In an interview with The Seventh Hex, Allie X developed into the song’s message: "‘Tumor’ Xplores the relationship between you and another person to that of a grotesque neoplasm that you have been aware of but chosen to ignore. It was inspired by those TV specials on people with 50 pound tumours who, amazingly have chosen not to go to the doctors or get them removed. The fear. Fear of malignancy? Fear of others opinion of this grotesque part of you. Fear of who you will become when the growth is removed."
