Why is a paralyzing agent used in lethal injection?

So I can understand a drug to knock a person out and then a drug to kill them, but then why a drug in-between to also paralyze them?

When you have surgery and your under general anesthesia they give you something to paralyze you too. I had the WORST experience finding this out. When they bring you out of it they first bring you out of the paralyzed state then wake you up. Well they did it backwards with me once and I thought I was going to die! I felt like I couldn’t breathe. I got really panicky and told the doctor I can’t breathe!!! He just “oh you’ll be ok”. Well fuck that! I.CAN’T.BREATHE!!! Fix it!!!
