Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Tell me who doesn't love what can never come back?

You can never forget how it used to feel

The illusion is deep, it's as deep as the night

I can tell by your tears you remember it all

[Chorus]

I am paralyzed by the blood of Christ

Though it clouds my eyes, I can never stop

Never stop

[Verse 2]

How it feels to be dry, walking bare in the sun

Every mirage I see is a mirage of you

As I cool in the twilight, taste the salt on my skin

I recall all the tears, all the broken words

[Chorus]

I am paralyzed by the blood of Christ

Though it clouds my eyes, I can never stop

Never stop

[Bridge]

When the sunset's glow drifts away from you

You'll no longer know if any of this was really true at all

[Chorus]

I am paralyzed by the blood of Christ

Though it clouds my eyes, I can never stop

Never stop

[Refrain]

Tell me who doesn't love what can never come back?

You can never forget how it used to feel

[Chorus]

I am paralyzed by the blood of Christ

Though it clouds my eyes, I can never stop

Never stop

[Chorus]

I am paralyzed by the blood of Christ

Though it clouds my eyes, I can never stop

Never stop
