Analysis of "paralyze"
Through the fog,
my cape of wings,
envelop cloak,
on mushrooms.
Between stark,
white knight to black,
I lay parasol,
cat eye glow.
Falling on,
crashing that star,
on nothing kings,
that crown name.
In murky,
siren thunder,
I wish for it,
to go away.
Wash me down,
spiral down drain,
crumble paper,
afire burning.
As I scream,
onto covet,
memories bled,
flown insane.
