Julien Baker - The Modern Leper lyrics

[Julien Baker - The Modern Leper lyrics]

Cripple walks amongst you
All you tired human beings
He's got all the things a cripple has not
Working arms and legs
Vital parts fall from his system
And dissolve in Scottish rain
Vitally, he doesn’t miss them
He's too fucked up to care

Is that you in front of me?
Coming back for even more of exactly the same
You must be a masochist
To love a modern leper on his last leg
On his last leg

I crippled your heart a hundred times
And still can't work out why
See, I’ve got this disease that
I can't shake and I'm
Just rattling through life
This is how we do things now


This is how the modern stay scared
So I cut out all the good stuff
I cut off my foot to spite my leg

Is that you in front of me?
Coming back for even more of exactly the same
You must be a masochist
To love a modern leper on his last leg
Well I am ill but I'm not dead
And I don't know which of these I prefer
Because that limb, which I have lost
It was the only thing holding me up
Holding me up

I'm lying on the ground now
And you're walking through the only door
I have lost my eyesight like I said I would
But, I still know

That is you in front of me
Coming back for even more of exactly the same
Well are you a masochist?
To love a modern leper on his last leg
You're not ill, ’cause I’m not dead
Doesn't that make us the perfect pair?
Sit with me, we’ll start again
And you can tell me all
About what you did today what you did today
