Brown Bird - Pale and Paralyzed lyrics

Even the walls are shaking her down and breaking her mind with unsettling sounds Courage collapses and uncertainty reigns She tries to summon her strength to thunder through it again Sinks her teeth into a terrible rage and plunges her fist into the darkness She's losing her ground and the war being waged The war being waged by madness She's fallen prey to the shadows caught in the haze with sadness stakes Maybe the ground will open Surely the earth will swallow her whole One crack and blow to the temple Doubt take toll, she's lost control Fire persists on the corridor walls She jumps at the sound of each footfall Long and dark is the journey ahead at home her body turns and tosses in bed Often she thinks she is somebody mean but is just her own blood rushing in her ears The force inside that steers her head toward the beast in the darkness The truth she seeks in the shadows half way between being alive and dead The devil is out for her tonight under the moonlit' sky above She's frozen in fear from lord and fright And in her bloodshot eyes she sees the moon up high Pale and paralyzed so bright and as white as the bones of a dove. Maybe the ground will open Surely the earth will swallow her whole One crack and blow to the temple Doubt take toll, she's lost control
