Paralyzed

[Intro

I don't want to leave my house.

I don't want to leave my bed.

You don't understand these ghosts inside my head.

Verse 1 –

I wake up feeling heavy, like the night never left,

Whole world moving fast but I’m stuck catching my breath.

Every step feel risky, like the floor might give in,

Try to fight my thoughts but they fight back to win.

I stare at the door like it’s daring me to try,

Heart beating out my chest, don’t know the reason why.

I wanna be brave but the fear feel loud,

Every single eye feels like a staring crowd.

I replay my words, yeah I hate how they sound,

Didn’t mean to hurt you, just nervous breaking down.

I love too hard but I show it all wrong,

Try to keep it gentle but the pressure too strong.

I'm stuck, I'm stuck, I'm paralyzed a prisoner in my mind,

I'm terrified when the nightmare is you then it's hard to hide,

Might drown from all the tears ive cried , i'd try to get up and run.

But i'm stuck i'm stuck i'm paralyzed.

[Verse 2 –

My Kids need me strong so I fake it for a while,

Holdin’ all this pain behind an everyday smile.

Some days I’m a hero, some days I’m a ghost,

Standing in the room but I don’t feel close.

Phone start ringing, I let it ring twice,

Every conversation feel like rolling dice.

I wanna explain but the words get stuck,

Brain go numb and my heart like “what the fuck.”

I miss when joy felt easy, miss when life felt light,

Now I live in my thoughts every single night.

I don’t wanna quit, I just wanna feel safe,

But my own mind makes the world feel unsafe.

I'm stuck, I'm stuck, I'm paralyzed a prisoner in my mind,

I'm terrified when the nightmare is you then it's hard to hide,

Might drown from all the tears ive cried , i'd try to get up and run.

But i'm stuck i'm stuck i'm paralyzed.

[Verse 3

I talk to myself like I’m already gone,

Like I’m something broken that won’t respond.

I wouldn’t say this to nobody else,

So why I tear myself down for help?

I just need time, need space to breathe,

Need silence from the war in me.

I’m still here even when I freeze,

Still fighting through what nobody sees.

[Final Chorus

I'm stuck, I'm stuck, I'm paralyzed a prisoner in my mind,

I'm terrified when the nightmare is you then it's hard to hide,

Might drown from all the tears ive cried , i'd try to get up and run.

But i'm stuck i'm stuck i'm paralyzed.

[Outro

I'm here

Still stuck, still stuck

Still paralyzed.
