Paralyzed

  Bb            Gm              
I picked up the phone, you were both
D#
 on the line
     Bb            Gm    D#
Your words to each other froze me in
 time
             F             D#
A lifetime between us just burnt on 
the wires
   Gm          F             D#
Dissolved in a dial tone, consumed 
in your fires
     Bb          Gm           D#
Your footsteps beside me, the phone 
in my hand
        Gm    F       D#
I can't move, I can't stand

Continues after the ad
Our faces in pieces, facades on the 
floor
The pretense between us for a moment
 destroyed
I don't want to go on with these 
words in my heart
But the ghost of your anger will 
tear us apart
How my little world just went up in 
smoke
I'm too young, I'm too old
Gm      F         D#
One day soon I'll know
Gm      F         D#
One day soon I'll just let it go

I run from the bedroom with legs 
paralyzed
I carve out my future part prophet, 
part blind
It's nobody's business, no one is to
 blame
We'll meet in the distance, new 
numbers new names
I've lifted the veil, I've walked 
through the fire
I'll move on, I'll go higher
