Cripple

I can no longer live my life as a cripple

I miss the past when my fingers did more, than just wiggle

If it wasn't for my daughter and my wife

I would have surely ended my life

The rule of this alpha male has finally died

I deserve a death full of dignity and pride

Now I am running out of reasons to breathe

I think I am ready, for a rest in peace

Tonight, as I pray for death, I will try to be brave

Undertaker, please prepare an unmarked grave

I have packed my things, I am ready to go

To heaven or hell I really don't know

Don’t cry for me when I am gone

I am happier now, this is where I belong

In this unknown place, I will survive

Free from my throne, will I feel alive

I promise to come visit you each and every night

In your dreams, I will be there, to hold you tight

I have to go, tears are burning my eyes

To all that I love, this is my last goodbye
