The Gift Of Paralysis

The Gift Of Paralysis

Envy On The Coast
(album: Lucy Gray)

Alarming to the senses
As the scent of latex
And blinding white lights greet me
He´s 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
And as your legs are canonized
With waters from these seas
To own a heart that´s half of yours, yours
These bones are mere accessories
Well these bones are mere accessories

The doctor said he heard me
Stutter as I muttered
A startling repetitious phrase
And under anesthesia
I told him over and over again
"This body´s yours to keep"
And though he promised me
He said he´d do as I please, yeah yeah
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
They can´t bear to see

Our eyes are paralyzed
And as your legs are canonized
With waters from these seas
To own a heart that´s half of yours, 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
