Anthony Green
The Gift of Paralysis
Alarming to the senses
As the scent of latex and blinding white lights greet me
He's withered, weak and weary, his bones are very brittle
Can't rid this taste of surgery, of surgery, accusing me
It's perjury, like surgery correcting me
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 waters from these seas
To own a heart thats half of yours
These bones are mere accessories, well these bones are mere accessories
Doctor said he heard me
Stutter as I mutter a startling, repetitious phrase
And under anesthesia, I told him over and over again this bodies yours to keep
And though he promised me, he said he'd do as I please
I stand before you on 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 waters from these seas
To own a heart thats half of yours
These bones are mere accessories, well 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 ( x7 )
Ocean waves
And as the tides retreat
I see the smile you see today
To own a heart thats half of yours
These bones are mere accessories
Our eyes are paralyzed as your legs are canonized
With waters from these seas
To own a heart thats half of yours, half of yours
Throwing punches at ocean waves (x7) ( To own a heart thats half of yours)
Ocean waves
Throwing punches at ocean waves (x2) ( These bones are mere accessories)
