[Verse 1]
Dark or light don't matter when you’re feeling like me
I could be on stage or hiding under the sheets
Come a little closer, let you catch my disease
Sick of wanting to scream, hold on!
Feeling kinda freaked out, is this called insecure?
I had all the pieces, all my ducks in row
Now I'm looking out I don't know where I should go
What is there left to do?
Hold on!

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I don’t really get why I'm holding on
When I really want to let go
But my brain rejects to the things I want to forget
I cannot say no
I don't understand, this seems underhand
Hell, who's side am I even on?
But my brain rejects and I can't forget
Even though I want to let go

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Are you even listening?
I'm sick of these feelings
They‘re wrapping and trapping me
They're dragging me
And I can't get free
Are you even listening?
I’m sick of these feelings
They‘re grabbing and stabbing me
Changing reality
[Chorus]
Paralyzed
Fight or flight
I’m paralyzed
And out of time
And nothing's right
But did I try?
When I’m paralyzed
Paralyzed
Fight or flight
I'm paralyzed
And out of time
And nothing's right
But did I try?
When I'm paralyzed

[Verse 2]
I am always trying
But the pieces are wrong
Never click together, never coming in strong
Stared into the mirror, left me feeling alone
I just want to go home
Hold on!

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I don’t really get
Why I'm holding on when I really want to let go
But my brain rejects to the things I want to forget
I cannot say no
I don't understand, this seems underhand
Hell, who's side am I even on?
But my brain rejects
And I can't forget
Even though I want to let go
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Are you even listening?
I'm sick of these feelings
They‘re wrapping and trapping me
They're dragging me
And I can't get free
Are you even listening?
I'm sick of these feelings
They‘re grabbing and stabbing me
Changing reality

[Chorus]
Paralyzed
Fight or flight
I'm paralyzed
And out of time
And nothing's right
But did I try?
When I'm paralyzed

[Chorus]
Paralyzed
Fight or flight
I'm paralyzed
And out of time
And nothing's right
But did I try?
When I'm paralyzed
