Lyrics

Paralysis

Paralyzed, on the floor again
Lately I've been fiending
'Cause it's over I'm stupid
Living a lie on my own, so alone
You're calling consistently
But I'm paralyzed on the floor
Far from you
And lately I've been thinking
I'm not feeling anything at all
Will I survive in the dead of night?
And now the lights are fading faster
Save me from my disaster
My disaster
Lay the lights down low!
'God only knows I give up to the fire
You didn't always come up from the water
I only thought you were crying from laughter
Saving myself from the mouth of a monster
Paralyzed on the floor again!
Baby I've been fiending
And lately I've been thinking
I'm not feeling anything at all
Will I survive in the dead of night?
And now the lights are fading faster
Save me from my disaster
My disaster
Paralyzed on the floor
And lately I've been feeling
I'm not thinking anything at all
Will I survive in the dead of night?
And now the lights are fading faster
Save me from my disaster
My disaster
'God only knows I give up to the fire
You didn't always come up from the water
I only thought you were crying from laughter
Saving myself from the mouth of a monster
'God only knows I give up to the fire
You didn't always come up from the water
I only thought you were crying from laughter
Saving myself from the mouth of a monster
