The anger, the pressure
You're choking down your words again
Feel the nerves set in
Unspoken frustration
They see right through you
Paper thin, like the ghost within

Our heart, it feels no pain
Addicted to the cane
Breaking beneath the strings
I am paralyzed

The state of a stranger
Is like a wound that bleeds again
Silent as the dead
The victim, the martyr
Like Daniel in the lion's den
Time and time again

Our heart, it feels no pain
Addicted to the cane
Breaking beneath the strings
I am paralyzed
I am paralyzed

Our heart, it feels no pain
Addicted to the cane
Will endless tantrum change?
Why do you stand your game?
Viewing life just at your narrow, fractured lens
Really sure you end up on the losing end
Breaking beneath the strings
I am paralyzed
I am paralyzed
I am paralyzed
I am paralyzed
I am paralyzed
