Paralysed

Verse 1
Lying in the dark, eyes open wide,
Awake but asleep, trapped inside.
Shadows crawl, I can’t break free,
A prisoner of my own body.

Pre-Chorus
I try to scream but no sound comes,
Held down heavy, I come undone.

Chorus
Paralysed, I can’t escape,
Locked inside my skin, my fate.
Haunted nights that never fade,
I see it all, I feel the weight.
Paralysed, I can’t break through,
It’s happening again like it always knew.

Verse 2
It takes me back to those nights before,
Your shadow standing at my door.
I couldn’t move, couldn’t push you away,
So I floated above, just drifted away.

Pre-Chorus
I split in two just to survive,
Watching myself from the ceiling high.

Chorus
Paralysed, I can’t escape,
Locked inside my skin, my fate.
Haunted nights that never fade,
I see it all, I feel the weight.
Paralysed, I can’t break through,
It’s happening again like it always knew.

Bridge
A body frozen, a soul that flies,
A silent scream beneath the night skies.
I learned to vanish just to endure,
But the scars still whisper, the pain’s still pure.

Final Chorus
Paralysed, I can’t escape,
Caught in the dark, can’t change my shape.
Haunted nights that won’t let go,
Echoes of a past I’ll never show.
Paralysed, I’m split in two,
Watching myself like I never knew.

Outro
Laying there still, eyes open wide,
Awake but asleep — paralysed.
