Paralyzed

The anger, the pressure

You're choking down your words again

Feel the nerves set in

Unspoken frustration

They see right through you

Paper thin like the ghost with them

A heart that feels no pain

Addicted to the game

Breaking beneath the strain

Are you paralyzed?

The stare of a stranger

Is like a wound that bleeds again

Silent as the dead

The victim, the martyr

Like Daniel in the lion's den

Time and time again

A heart that feels no pain

Addicted to the game

Breaking beneath the strain

Are you paralyzed?

Are you paralyzed?

A heart that feels no pain

Addicted to the game

Relentless pageantry

What do you stand to gain?

Viewing life through such a narrow, fractured lens

Will ensure you'll end up on the losing end?

Breaking beneath the strain

Are you paralyzed?

I am paralyzed

I am paralyzed

I am paralyzed

I am paralyzed
