The Gift Of Paralysis

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
Eyes roll in rhythm
As they wish to focus
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 said 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 then he promised 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
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 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 retired
I saw 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, half of yours
These bones are mere accessories
Throwing punches at ocean waves
