The Gift Of Paralysis

Alarming to the senses

As the scent of latex

And blinding white lights greet me

Withered, weak, and weary

His bones are bare and brittle

Can't rid this taste of surgery

Of surgery, accusing me

Of perjury, like surgery correcting me

I'm bouncing in and out of my body

As my eyes roll in rhythm

And they wish to focus

But they can't bear to see

Our eyes are paralyzed

As your legs are canonized

With the water from these seas

To own a heart that's half of yours

These bones are mere accessories

Well these bones are mere accessories

The doctor swears he heard me

Stutter as muttered

A startling repetitious phrase

And under anesthesia

I told him over and over again

This body's yours to keep

And though he swore to me

He said he'd do as I please

But I stand before you

Upon these same selfish feet

I'm bouncing in and out of my body

As my eyes roll in rhythm

And they wish to focus

But they can't bear to see

Our eyes are paralyzed

As your legs are canonized

With the water from these seas

To own a heart that's half of yours

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

And as the tides retreat

I see the smile you see today

To own a heart that's half of yours

These bones are mere accessories

Our eyes are paralyzed

As your legs are canonized

With the water from these seas

To own a heart that's half of yours, yours

These bones are mere accessories

Throwing punches at ocean waves
