lyrics

Lumbering onward, encircling, repeating
Trampling down on old tracks with each step
A wheel of regret, of memory
Coiling around ad nauseum

The crack of bones, trembling, shaking
Straining beneath the unbearable weight
Quaking legs, hunched back
Plastered grimace beneath tightly shut eyes that still see

Our past mistakes weigh us down
Barreling upon us at any moment
Anxieties and challenges strapped to our backs
Steadily crushing us beasts of burden

Roaming, searching, never ceasing
We are strung up, forcefully dragged along
Saddled, mounted, bound and broken
We are hobbled, each claimed by our past

This old body sunken and ruined
Years of stress deforming its shape
Horrible in stature, always near collapse
Forever we carry our past transgressions
