Paralyzed Lyrics

Paralyzed
Aryn Michelle 2012

Fingers twitching, but hanging empty
tracing heart shapes into the dust
a fake flower, still and pretty
never dying but never growing much

She’s paralyzed from the heart down, I’m reaching in, she shuts me out
she promised me that she would not shut down,
but she won’t do a thing to change it now

She got burned by a man of indifference
and the dust settles on the floor
and here I am, standing witness
but I can’t fix it, so I’m silent more and more

She’s paralyzed from the heart down, I’m reaching in, she shuts me out
she promised me that she would not shut down,
but she won’t do a thing to change it now
She’s paralyzed from the heart down, reaching in, she shuts me out
trapped at a distance in a prison of doubt,
she lost the keys and doesn’t care if they’re found

and she’ll never see an ending, if she won’t imagine a beginning

She’s paralyzed from the heart down, I’m reaching in, she shuts me out
she promised me that she would not shut down,
but she won’t do a thing to change it now
She’s paralyzed from the heart down, reaching in, she shuts me out
trapped at a distance in a prison of doubt,
she lost the keys and doesn’t care if they’re found
