Paralytic States Lyrics

She couldn’t even f..cking prove a single...

…baby’s crying, see her laughter, see the sirens

Red and blue lights flashing through those cheap hotel drapes

Blood spilled out on the porcelain

The bathtub’s overflowing

Paralytic states of dependency

Our waking life’s just a living dream

Agitated states of amazement

Never quite the woman that she wanted to be

Spread out face down on those same cheap hotel sheets

She spent the last years of her life running from the whore she used to be

Cut her face wide open, shaved the bone down

….exaggerated, f..cked up kind of feminine

Paralytic states of dependency

Our waking life’s just a living dream

Agitated states of amazement

Never quite the woman that she wanted to be

Night time at the hotel, kids were fighting in the hall

Thin chain lock to keep the world out, she held her breath till it was gone

Standing naked in front of that hotel bathroom mirror,

In her … fashion, she still saw her mother’s son

Paralytic states of dependency

Our waking life’s just a living dream

Agitated states of amazement

Never quite the woman that she wanted to be

By the time the ball dropped, it was already over

No resolutions for the new year beginning tomorrow
