[Verse 1]

Goin' through the motions

Harmful side effects

Undying devotion

A millstone around your neck

[Pre-Chorus]

Heavy as a heart of gold

People come and people go

Yeah, everything new gets old

Modern day broken-hearted soul

[Chorus]

Bury the memories, carry me far away

Laying awake at night

Comfortably paralyzed

Weary over the past

Falling between the cracks

Watching the world go by

Comfortably paralyzed

(Comfortably paralyzed)

[Verse 2]

Poetry in motion, rising from the depths

Lower than the ocean (Ocean)

Starting all over again

[Pre-Chorus]

Heavy as a heart of gold

People come and people go

Yeah, everything new gets old

Modern day broken-hearted soul

[Chorus]

Bury the memories, carry me far away

Laying awake at night

Comfortably paralyzed

Weary over the past

Falling between the cracks

Watching the world go by

Comfortably paralyzed

[Bridge]

They seem to dance or paint or talk

Play the piano so effortlessly, you know

They could definitely sit for hours

Who has to come to this point where we're going over it again and again is a dance

[Pre-Chorus]

Heavy as a heart of gold

People come and people go

Yeah, everything new gets old

Modern day broken-hearted soul

[Chorus]

Bury the memories, carry me far away

Laying awake at night

Comfortably paralyzed

Weary over the past

Falling between the cracks

Watching the world go by

Comfortably paralyzed

[Chorus]

Bury the memories, carry me far away

Laying awake at night

Comfortably paralyzed

Weary over the past

Falling between the past

Watching the world go by

Comfortably paralyzed

[Outro]

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Comfortably paralyzed

Comfortably paralyzed

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Comfortably paralyzed

Comfortably paralyzed
