Paralyzed

  • I wake to a fire in the night
    A little lying safe and sound
    It's a wild life, so wild crazy
    Cannot tame the crowd

    Like beast in the hole, you're MIA
    A little hell, you're gonna pay
    You're a whole at home, the telephone
    The king that's here to stay

    Sleep and awaken to life, for a hell of a ride
    Sleep and awaken to life, with your hands at your side, paralyzed
    Paralyzed, paralyzed, paralyzed

    Out cold in the gentle rain, it's dark
    A little lying set your fire
    Push away and go, the stereo
    A tear ruled death to part

    Nineteen with a wicked MRE
    What a waste, a memory
    Got a steady heart, you play your part
    And now get down to the sea

    Sleep and awaken to life, for a hell of a ride
    Sleep and awaken to life, with your hands at your side

    It's more of the same
    A silly old shame
    A dimly lit road, it will whither and go
    I climb the light post, illuminate the road
    For miles away, so safely on your way

    Sleep and awaken to life, for a hell of a ride
    Sleep and awaken to life, with your hands at your side
    Sleep and awaken to life, for a hell of a ride
    Sleep and awaken to life, with your hands at your side, paralyzed
    Paralyzed, paralyzed, paralyzed Writer/s: Ilan Rubin, Thomas Delonge
