The Crutch

Lyrics

His eyes half-closed revealed his world of nod
 A world of lonely men and no love
 No God
 His life of seeming nonchalance can't hide
 The pain and fear that in his mind reside
 From dawn till dawn his body houses hurting
 And none of us can truly aid his search
 We sit outside and sings the shades, the fool
 It's always easy to forecast others' doom
 The savage beast that once so soothed his brain
 Has reared its ugly head and staked its claim called yama
 Here is his one more soul
 He will have to add the sorrow's total
 These men, still men, would be like you and me
 But when the world reached out, they chose to flee
 The crutch
 The crutch
