Paralysed

Pride cometh
Pride comes before the slaughter
My escape eternal
A world with stitched on eyes

Is this the end of all
The things that I am

Is this all a dream?
Or is it real?

Shadows flicker around me
like fleas
Spreading their disease
This might just be a dream
(Can I be redeemed?)

I feel I'm running
I feel like flying
Am I nothing more than paralysed
I've been working
I've been trying
Am I nothing more than paralysed

This was never asked for
What I wanted it to be
Are you sure it's all a dream?
(The smoke and mirrors, killing me, killing me)

Do you think you're in control?
Back to earth, back to the soil
Into dust and into bones
Into nothing, evermore

I feel I'm running
I feel like flying
Am I nothing more than paralysed
I've been working
I've been trying
Am I nothing more than paralysed

I feel I'm running
I feel like flying
Am I nothing more than paralysed
I've been working
I've been trying
Am I nothing more than paralysed
Into fire
Take me higher
Be something more than paralysed
Into water
Delving deeper
Am I nothing more than paralysed
