Paralyzed

He's struggled through the quicksand
Makes his home in the underground
Never dealt the winning hand
And it never turns around
It never turns around
These hard times are coming down

The things you've seen deep inside won't let you be
And how can the future seem, so dark and so full of fear
Down in the mire, dirty in the mud
Paralyzed by your own bad luck
Forged in fire, but cheated by love
Paralyzed by your own bad luck

He walks streets paved with pain
Just like you, he wants to feel
His true self flood his veins
But that's not what's in the needle
These hard times are coming 'round
These hard times are coming down

The things you've seen deep inside won't let you be
And how can the future seem, so dark and so full of fear
Down in the mire, dirty in the mud
Paralyzed by your own bad luck
Forged in fire, cheated by love
Paralyzed by your own bad luck
