I'm livin' in a state of paralysis

Thinkin' I'm alive but I'm dead

Yes, I'm living in a state of paralysis

This mediocre life's gone to my head.



Realisation, realisation.



Pride, I've got plenty of it

Love, I really don't know what it means

But I'm certainly contented, never been ill fed

Oh no! got a comfy bed it's gone to my head.



So I'm gettin' out o' this state of paralysis

I've really come to realise at last

That I'm living in a state of paralysis

My manifestation is gonna last.



Realisation, realisation.



There's too many others think we know it all

And not enough of us think ahead 

And what we don't know ain't worth knowin' at all

There's too many of us really dead.



So I'm gettin' out of this state of paralysis

I've really come to realise at last

That I'm livin' in a state of paralysis

My manifestation is gonna last.



Realisation, realisation.



Sympathy, I can give it

Consideration with it

Love, well I certainly found it

And I'm buildin' round it.



I'm gettin' out o' this state of paralysis

I've really come to realise at last

That I'm living in a state of paralysis

My manifestation is gonna last.



Well I'm gettin' out o' this state of paralysis

I've really come to realise at last

That I'm living in a state of paralysis

My manifestation is gonna last.
