Paralyzed

Walking on the void
A backbone made of glass
The weakest among the weak
A fragmented soul

Not sure if I’m sleeping or awake
A life painted by William Blake
Dementia is in place
And says welcome to my disgrace

I have been here before
Blind and deep in the core
You have the heart of a great man
Just remember

Every moment you hesitate
So unsure of your own fate

Slowly I see you die
You’re immobilized
You’re ostracized
You’re paralyzed

Tears fall over ball and chain
Judgment from the strange
Devoured by your fears
Not a shadow of what you used to be

Mind stairs lead you to the basement
An existence for the devil’s amusement
Cracks snapping in the floor
Walls without doors

I have been here before
Blind and deep in the core
You have the heart of a great man
Just remember

Every moment you hesitate
So unsure of your own fate

Slowly I see you die
You’re immobilized
You’re ostracized
You’re paralyzed
You’re paralyzed

Every moment you hesitate
So unsure of your own fate

Slowly I see you die
You’re immobilized
You’re ostracized
You’re paralyzed

Every moment you hesitate
So unsure of your own fate

Slowly I see you die
You’re immobilized
You’re ostracized
You’re paralyzed
You’re paralyzed
You’re paralyzed
