Crippled - Jukai

Run circles around my head

Life lost, hopes crushed, dwell in regret

Stuck to the floor day after day

Face down in past mistakes

Searching for a way to gain some clarity

Nothing seems real to me

Crippled by fear

Suffer my life without you here

Reaching out for those better days

But the clock spits hours in my fucking face

Crippled by fear, Misery takes its toll

Left with the ache of a dying soul

My heart burns a thousand pyres

Those who’ve sown in tears shall reap in joy

Yet the harvest produces constant lies

Promises of tomorrow fail to come to light

Wrapping me in unyielding pain and frustration

These promises fail to come to fruition

Closed my eyes to your truth

You numbed yourself to the world

Your life unfurled

You were dying inside, gasping for air

As you floated away with the tides of despair

Try to tell me there’s life after death?

Then put the gun to my fucking head

Bullshit scriptures give me no desire

My heart burns a thousand pyres
