This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
What's that behind her back (her back)
Suffocated with a plastic bag
she grasps for air
next struggle her feet are nailed to the floor
Whoa
Carving again and again
Slicing away the flesh
(Don't choke to death)
Begging again and again
Praying for it all to end
The knife severs her spine
Paralyzed
Paralyzed
Hole in her spine
She is paralyzed
Oh
Bleeding from the back of her neck
Gagging from all the blood that's in her mouth
Breathing her last breath
Fighting to stay alive
Paralyzed
Paralyzed
Hole in her spine
She is paralyzed
[Solo]
Paralyzed
Paralyzed
Hole in her spine
She is paralyzed
Paralyzed
Paralyzed
Hole in her spine
She is paralyzed
Oh...God...Look at that.
