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?

Some people get traumatized when they see a person flailing about as their body struggles to stay alive.

So we paralyze them so that the people watching don’t get traumatized by watching someone die.

Yes, that’s supposed to make sense.
