Lyrics
Paralyzed
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The anger, the pressure
You're choking down your words again
Feel the nerves set in
Unspoken frustration
They see right through you
Paper thin, like the ghost within
A heart that feels no pain
Addicted to the game
Breaking beneath the strain
I am paralyzed
The stare of a stranger
Is like a wound that bleeds again
Silent as the dead
The victim, the martyr
Like Daniel in the lion's den
Time and time again
A heart that feels no pain
Addicted to the game
Breaking beneath the strain
I am paralyzed
I am paralyzed
A heart that feels no pain
Addicted to the game
Relentless mental train
What do you stand to gain?
Viewing life through such a narrow, fractured lens
We'll ensure you end up on the losing end
Breaking beneath the strain
I am paralyzed
I am paralyzed
I am paralyzed
I am paralyzed
I am paralyzed
