Paralized

Why didn’t I say no

Why didn‘t I just turn and run

Pack my things and go

When I felt so clearly something’s wrong

Why couldn‘t I just leave

I still don‘t understand

After all those years

How this could get so out of hand

Paralyzed

Shell shocked and scared

Watching from a cloud

Numb and unprepared

Paralyzed

Before I realized

What had happened

When I was paralyzed

But why didn’t I say no

The shame still leaves me hollow

I had many hunches for sure

All of which I chose to ignore

I thought it can't be

These things just happen in movies

Far away from me

Oh it's a bitter pill to swallow

Paralyzed

Shell shocked and scared

Watching from a cloud

Numb and unprepared

Paralyzed

Before I realized

What had happened

When I was paralyzed

This wasn‘t the deal

This can‘t be for real

Wake me up, wake me up, wake me up

I’m not made of steel

And I don’t want to feel this no longer

Was paralyzed - paralyzed - paralyzed

Paralyzed - was paralyzed - I was paralyzed

Paralyzed

Shell shocked and scared

Watching from a cloud

Numb and unprepared

Paralyzed

Before I realized

What had happened
