Lyrics

Paralysed

I'm going out 'cause I need to
And you're staying in because you can
And you're the man
And I'm locked out, stuck on Lyndale
I miss the island
When I speak, they understand

And I know it's a waste of time
And I know you are yours, not mine
And oh, oh, oh, I'm being left behind

But I'm paralysed
Paralysed and sore
For the longing
The belonging
It isn't fair
Why don't you care?
What a thing it is just to bore yourself
To ignore yourself and pretend

And I know it's a waste of time
And I know you are yours, not mine
And I know I'm being left behind
But I'm paralysed
And I know

Don't snuff me out
I used to be magic
I used to be rage uncontained
I used to be something you made and admired
I used to be fire
I used to be magic

And now I know it's a waste of time
And I know you are yours, not mine
And I know I'm being left behind
But I'm paralysed
Oh, I'm paralysed
I'm paralysed
