The Faint - Ballad of a Paralysed Citizen lyrics
[The Faint - Ballad of a Paralysed Citizen lyrics]
I'm paralysed and things could change
For you as well you're not so bad off now
You can move anything you need
I'm not this way because of
An emergency I caused at seventeen
A guard perched above the chlorine floor
When I saw a hand raise up
From just beneath the air
A frantic move for help
I made an instant judgment call
Dive i arched my feet to dive
I broke the elemental line to save a child
Dive into the shallow floor
The bottom scraped my palms
And compressed my spine
Now I'm paralysed while they just
Hope to make amends
The family and the kid who
Faked the drowning incident
I've felt the hand of God and that's
The last thing that I felt
At all below my back
I've lost the faith I thought I had
Dive i arched my feet to dive
I broke the elemental line to save a child
Dive into the shallow floor
The bottom scraped my palms
And compressed my spine
For you as well you're not so bad off now
You can move anything you need
I'm not this way because of
An emergency I caused at seventeen
A guard perched above the chlorine floor
When I saw a hand raise up
From just beneath the air
A frantic move for help
I made an instant judgment call
Dive i arched my feet to dive
I broke the elemental line to save a child
Dive into the shallow floor
The bottom scraped my palms
And compressed my spine
Now I'm paralysed while they just
Hope to make amends
The family and the kid who
Faked the drowning incident
I've felt the hand of God and that's
The last thing that I felt
At all below my back
I've lost the faith I thought I had
Dive i arched my feet to dive
I broke the elemental line to save a child
Dive into the shallow floor
The bottom scraped my palms
And compressed my spine
