The Gift Of Paralysis

(专辑： Lucy Gray - 2007)

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

Throwing punches (punches) at ocean waves [x4]
Throwing punches at ocean waves [x3]
Ocean waves, ohh

And as the tides retired
I saw the smile you see today
To own a heart that's half of yours, yours
These bones are mere accessories

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

Throwing punches at ocean waves (to own a heart that's half of yours) [x7]
Ocean waves

Throwing punches at ocean waves (these bones are mere accessories) [x2]
