Paralyzed - Dream Theater

The anger, the pressure, you’re choking down

Your words again, feel the nerves set in

Unspoken frustration, they see right through you

Paper thin, like the ghost within

A heart that feels no pain

Addicted to the game

Breaking beneath the strain

I am paralyzed

The stare of a stranger, is like a wound

That bleeds again, silent as the dead

The victim, the martyr, like Daniel

In the Lion’s Den, time and time again

A heart that feels no pain

Addicted to the game

Breaking beneath the strain

I am paralyzed

I am paralyzed

A heart that feels no pain

Addicted to the game

Relentless mental drain

What do you stand to gain?

Viewing life through such a narrow, fractured lens

Will ensure you end up on the losing end

Breaking beneath the strain

I am paralyzed

I am paralyzed

I am paralyzed

I am paralyzed

I am paralyzed
