The Gift of Paralysis

Alarming to the senses
As the scent of latex
And blinding white lights greet me
He's withered
Weak and weary
His bones are very brittle
Can't rid this taste of surgery
Of surgery
Accusing me
It's perjury
Like surgery correcting me

I'm bouncing in and out of my body
Eyes roll in rhythm
As they wish to focus
But they can't bear to see

Our eyes are paralyzed
As your legs are canonized
With waters from these seas
To own a heart thats half of yours, yours
These bones are mere accessories
Well these bones are mere accessories

Doctor said he heard me
Stutter as I mutter
A startling repetitious phrase
And under anesthesia
I told him over and over again
This bodies yours to keep
And though he promised me
He said he'd do as I please
I stand before you
On these same selfish feet

I'm bouncing in and out of my body
Eyes roll in rhythm
As they wish to focus
But they can't bear to see

Our eyes are paralyzed
As your legs are canonized
With waters from these seas
To own a heart thats half of yours, yours
These bones are mere accessories
Well these bones are mere accessories

His neck is shattered by the tides,
The Ocean prays for his demise
But I swear to you
I watched his heart pump blood
Into those veins

Throwing punches at ocean waves
Throwing punches at ocean waves
Throwing punches at ocean waves
Throwing punches at ocean waves
Throwing punches at ocean waves
Throwing punches at ocean waves
Throwing punches at ocean waves
Ocean waves

And as the tides retreat
I saw the smile you see today
To own a heart thats half of yours
These bones are mere accessories

Our eyes are paralyzed
As your legs are canonized
With waters from these seas
To own a heart thats half of yours
Half of yours

Throwing punches at ocean waves (to own a heart thats half of yours)
Throwing punches at ocean waves (to own a heart thats half of yours)
Throwing punches at ocean waves (to own a heart thats half of yours)
Throwing punches at ocean waves (to own a heart thats half of yours)
Throwing punches at ocean waves (to own a heart thats half of yours)
Throwing punches at ocean waves (to own a heart thats half of yours)
Throwing punches at ocean waves (to own a heart thats half of yours)
Ocean waves
Throwing punches at ocean waves (these bones are mere accessories)
Throwing punches at ocean waves (these bones are mere accessories)
