Paralyzed - Lee Fields

When did I become so numb? When did I lose myself? All the words that leave my tongue Feel like they came from someone else I'm paralyzed Where are my feelings? I no longer feel things I know I should I'm paralyzed Where is the real me? I'm lost and it kills me Inside I'm paralyzed When did I become so cold? When did I become ashamed? (Oh) Where's the person that I know? They must have left They must have left With all my faith I'm paralyzed Where are my feelings? I no longer feel things I know I should I'm paralyzed Where is the real me? I'm lost and it kills me Inside I'm paralyzed I'm paralyzed, I'm scared to live, but I'm scared to die And if life is pain, then I buried mine A long time ago, but it's still alive And it's taking over me, where am I? I wanna feel something, I'm numb inside But I don't feel nothing, I wonder why I'm in the race of life and time passed by Look, I sit back and I watch it Hands in my pockets Waves come crashing over me but I just watch 'em I just watch 'em I'm underwater but I feel like I'm on top of it I'm at the bottom and I don't know what the problem is I'm in a box, but I'm the one who locked me in Suffocating and I'm running out of oxygen I'm paralyzed Where are my feelings? I no longer feel things I know I should I'm paralyzed Where is the real me? I'm lost and it kills me, inside I'm paralyzed (yeah, I'm just so paralyzed) Where are my feelings? (Yeah, I'm just so paralyzed) I no longer feel things (I have no feelings) I know I should (oh, how come I'm not moving) (Why are you not moving?) I'm paralyzed (hey, yeah) Where is the real me? (Where is the real me? Where is the real me?) I'm lost and it kills me, inside (I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed) I'm paralyzed (I'm paralyzed)

A sense so strong Must've been gritting its teeth since the day I was born Is it a shape or a form? I'd describe it as more of a color, a feeling, a storm That won't leave me alone Like it's living inside of my bones I feel it everywhere, slowly it tunnels its way through the walls Only a matter of time They've got their goals and I've got mine But I'm stuck in this prison of flesh and bone (flesh and bone) Paralyzed, all I've got left is the sight And something's moving in the corner of my eye Wants me dead, yet, it keeps me alive Crucified (crucified) Crucified, and I can see the light (see the light) The eclipse is here I'm so near, near the light But they will pull me down, down where I belong It's so cold down here, yet nothing can equal this warmth Gather a thousand voices, and sing me a ballad of woe Paralyzed, all I've got left is the sight And something's moving in the corner of my eye Wants me dead, yet, it keeps me alive Run through the dark, my child Run on with the moon right by your side Paralyzed, all I've got left is the sight The eclipse is here The eclipse is here And if I died here, would my soul still live on? Would I be more than the shape of a man? I keep on shouting but there is no answer The silence is deafening The silence is deafening Yet, it keeps me alive Paralyzed, all I've got left is the sight And something's moving in the corner of my eye Wants me dead, yet, it keeps me alive Run through the dark, my child Run on with the moon right by your side Paralyzed, all I've got left is the sight So why am I still alive?

Pain thunders through my head Darkness befalls my vision In fear I scream my fathers name Only a demons laugh I hear Fighting a war I was never meant to win Falling in to a deep sleep I plead Wake me up I beg the demon freak Paralyzed I can't wake up from this dream Demons witches and freaks Evil is terrorizing me Paralyzed in sleep I scream Why can't I wake up from this dream Fighting a war I was never meant to win Falling in to a deep sleep I plead Wake me up I beg the demon freak Paralyzed I can't wake up from this dream

I seem to have flipped A switch And now that it's done I can't feel a thing But that's alright with me You can't hurt me anymore I'm too numb You can't hurt me anymore It's kinda lonely In this desert But it's lonelier When we're together I'm paralyzed I'm paralyzed I can't move I can't breathe I can't feel But I'm free I don't even need no one Heart turned to a gun Watch me fly into the sun No hesitation I don't even need no one Heart turned to a gun Watch me fly into the sun But I'm free It's kinda lonely In this desert But it's lonelier When we're together I'm paralyzed I'm paralyzed I can't move I can't breathe But I'm free I can't feel I'm paralyzed

In your face and in your eyes I see truth beneath your lies I have faith in all you do Heal my pain, make all things new All you gotta do is keep on lovin' me I'm under your spell, I'm hypnotized All you gotta do is keep on lovin' me Babe, without your love, I'm paralyzed You're the sun that always shines Stare you down until I'm blind Every day, my dreams come true I can't get enough of you All you gotta do is keep on lovin' me I'm under your spell, I'm hypnotized All you gotta do is keep on lovin' me Babe, without your love, I'm paralyzed Oh, I need your love Baby, I need your love All you gotta do is keep on lovin' me I'm under your spell, I'm hypnotized All you gotta do is keep on lovin' me Babe, without your love, I'm paralyzed All you gotta do is keep on lovin' me I'm under your spell, I'm hypnotized Give your love to me, give your love to me Babe, without your love I'm paralyzed

All clear, good Lord Did well to be ignored Your falling temperature like cooling kisses All through your head A made up water's edge A summer gone on tabling fabled blisses And I'd love to see you waving From the far side of the swim Gathered in by a waiting troop of the open-hearted Where colour field meets canvas And the picture breathes you in Where all the stories meant for you have already started Bright girl, dead town Walking tall but blown around The secret chainmail gown of your father's blessing Bright girl, dead town Open mouths for miles around I still see you keeping those dough boys guessing And I'd love to see you waving From the far side of the swim Gathered in by a waiting troop of the open-hearted Where colour field meets canvas And the picture breathes you in Where all the stories meant for you have already started Bright girl, dead town Bright girl, dead town Bright girl, dead town Open mouths for miles around Bright girl, dead town Bright girl, dead town Bright girl, dead town Bright girl, dead town Open mouths for miles around Bright girl, dead town

Where are you? Will your dreams come true? You're a fool Aimless pursuit Look at you In a field of doom You will lose You've been warned now Be safe, don't do that These fields are gonna swallow you Be safe, don't do that These fields are gon' devour you Be safe, don't do that These fields are gonna swallow you Be safe, don't do that These fields are gon' devour you I'm walking the fields I'm walking the fields, yeah I'm walking the fields Be safe, don't do that These fields are gon' devour you (devour you) This ain't meant for you That's what they tell me Even if that is true This is my journey This is my journey I won't take a knee This is not for you This is for me Breathe in, breathe out These fields, they won't devour me Breathe in, breathe out These fields, they gon' empower me Breathe in, breathe out These fields, they won't devour me Breathe in, breathe out These fields, they gon' empower me I'm walking the fields I'm walking the fields, yeah I'm walking the fields Be safe, don't do that These fields are gon' devour you These fields are gon' devour you These fields are gon' devour you (devour you) Never learned my lesson as a child, I was wild Staring at the moon, thought I'd never learn how to hide Drowning in my feelings but I never quite drowned Field full of wolves, yeah, we're fighting it out

Whippoorwill's singing Soft summer breeze Makes me think of my baby I left down in New Orleans I left down in New Orleans Magnolia, you sweet thing You're driving me mad Got to get back to you, babe You're the best I ever had You're the best I ever had You whisper "Good morning" So gently in my ear I'm coming home to you, babe I'll soon be there I'll soon be there Magnolia, you sweet thing You're driving me mad Got to get back to you, babe You're the best I ever had You're the best I ever had You're the best I ever had You're the best I ever had
