parachute
printable version written :: axiom to zeal desc :: It's nice to finally have some realizations about the way things really work. You are to blame for your downfalls and greatest accomplishments. Also, love keeps life interesting. [62:6:23]
In the world of the blind
just one eye will make you king.
It's a heavy burden to carry,
but you dawn a blindfold and say love is your thing.
Go on and silence your prophets
in the same moment you make them sing.
If you haven't noticed the kings are amoung us,
making all the same mistakes.
Then I go and hand you all my sight.
A blind king in love, lets raise the stakes.
CHORUS
I am paralyzed by your love,
but I chose the state I speak of.
I am paralyzed by your love,
and now I feel nothing.
***
Like a parachute in a hurricane
I am partial to your whimsy.
I am paralyzed by your love,
and just now it hits me.
***
I am paralyzed by MY love.
It's mine all mine.
I am paralyzed by MY love.
Yes, it's mine all mine.
Here in the world of the blind,
where I can hardly stand.
Given my sight and my will to move,
laying here with you on my hands.
But I can see your toes wiggling
and I admit that it scares me to death.
A martyr can silence all those prophets.
Here I am singing you with all my breath.
CHORUS (plus)
I am paralyzed by MY love,
like a midnight stoplight in a small town.
I am paralyzed by MY love,
like an aching houseguest that just won't sit down.
I am paralyzed by MY love.
It's mine all mine.
