"Paralysed" lyrics

Paralysed

Looking at my window
I can see the light
All the pretty people
Turning inside out
Watching television
Every single night
And when you twitter your opinion
Oh it feels so right

Wanna run, wanna run
But I'm paralysed
And the river running through me
Is as cold as ice
It's alright, it's alright
Till you realise
That every memory is like a
Weight around your feet

But I'm still looking at the window
Trying to be someone
All the pretty people
Eyes like valium
Preening for the screen
Like a Kardashian
And do you ever get the feeling
You're the only one

Wanna run, wanna run
But I'm paralysed
And the river running through me
Is as cold as ice
It's alright, it's alright
Till you realise
That every memory is like a
Weight around your feet
It goes around around
Like dirty laundry
Spins around round
We are never free
But I will rise, I will rise
Look you in the eye
And remember how it feels to be alive
When we were free
Not paralysed
Apparently paralysed
Apparently paralysed
Apparently paralysed
