Paralyzed

Why did I have to be this way
Hiding in shadows I create
Getting crushed beneath their weight
ON MY OWN

Can't you hear my heart
Rip it out and pick it apart
Because something hasn't felt quite right
From the start

All these voices inside
Who are they to decide
That I'm reaching out in vain
Though I'd rather feel nothing at all
Than this pain

Why did I have to be this way
Hiding in shadows I create
Getting crushed beneath their weight
I'm paralyzed and it's killing me
I only wish to be okay
I feel them stare but they will never see
(I'm all alone)

Can you feel the heat
I'll surrender before my defeat
I guess I've run my course and now I'm
Obsolete

All these voices inside
Who are they to decide
That I'm reaching out in vain
Though this empty shell
Is everything that remains

Why did I have to be this way
Hiding in shadows I create
Getting crushed beneath their weight
(On my own)
I'm paralyzed and it's killing me
I only wish to be okay
I feel them stare but they will never see
(I'm all alone)

I see my shape as I'm fading away
Just a stain on the wall just a name to decay
I'm tired of playing someone else's part
Just to feel again
Fail again
I see my shape as I'm fading away
And I'm tired of playing someone else's part

Is it all in my head, Is it all in my head
Is there hope of redemption
Is it all in my head, Is it all in my head
I think I'm starting to see
Is it all in my head, Is it all in my head
Is this just a perception
Help me feel again
Help me go

Why did I have to be this way
Hiding in shadows I create
Getting crushed beneath their weight
(On my own)
I'm paralyzed and it's killing me
I only wish to be okay
I feel them stare but they will never see
I'm all alone
I'm all alone
I'm all alone
