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
