Ballad Of A Paralysed Citizen (Medecine Remix) - The Faint
I'm paralyzed 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
To dive I arced 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 paralyzed 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
To dive I arced 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
Ah
