Paralyzed

Late at night, it starts to creep Footsteps echo, but it's just me Shadows stretch across the floor Can't tell what's real anymore Then she came, white as snowfall on a moonless night Fingers tracing, letting go Silver blade, frozen breath She was beauty, she was death Then her eyes met mine Felt the shiver inside A flicker, a spark Could I be alive? Oh, the voices, they call me From the void, from the dark But the fear in my bloodstream, cold and thick like winter's tide Keeps me torn apart She reached for my hand Tried to pull me above But I faded, I faltered Too afraid of her love In her glow, something changed Like a dream left unexplained Through her touch, I felt warm, like embers flickering in a fading storm But the cold still remained But my fear, it's a weight Pressing down, it's too late Couldn't step in her light Couldn't quiet my mind Then her eyes met mine Felt the shiver inside A flicker, a spark Could I be alive? Oh, my goddess, you saved me From the void, from the dark But the fear in my bloodstream Kept me worlds apart You whispered my name Like a song in the wind But the echoes inside me Kept you locked out again Your light was my hope, a flicker in endless gloom But I stayed in the shade The warmth that you offered Was the fire I betrayed
