Most of the tracks do. The only ones without any reference to death, dying or illness are 'Tis A Pity She Was A Whore and probably Girl Loves Me, I'm not even so sure about the latter.
I actually thought 'Tis a pity she was a whore' was a reference to his illness too. I thought Cancer was the whore, destroying the lives of all who she touches.

Never thought of it that way, but it does make sense.

That's a terribly negative view of whores.

Tis A Pity was released in 2014 (also possibly written and/or recorded), so it might or might not be about his state of health.
