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...
