Paralyzed
Her eyes are weary
But she's wide awake
She can't seem to shake
This feeling away
She knew what you were
She had to learn the hard way
She broke out of the asylum
Night terrors still haunt her in the dark
Blinded by her dreams
There's a disease in the garden
She had no choice except
To abandon all of her sins back in autumn
Here In the shadow she cries
Every night she holds on for dear life
Barely making it out alive
In the shadow she only just survives...
In a bed she doesn't want to sleep in
In a world she doesn't want to live in
In a universe she doesn't want to exist in
Here is where she lies....
She wants to pull her stomach
Over her head and swallow
The weight is adding to the baggage
Breaking her back
It's not as strong as all this tormenting sorrow
She suffered through the invasion
Her soul is forever paralyzed
If she ends this now
She'll never feel anything again...
