brown bird - pale and paralyzed lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
even the walls are shaking her down
and breaking her mind with unsettling sounds
courage collapses and uncertainty reigns
she tries to summon the strength to thunder through it again

sinks her t–th into a terrible rage
and plunges her fist into the darkness
she’s losing her ground in the war being waged
the war being waged by madness
she’s fallen prey to the shadows
caught in a haze where the sadness stays

[chorus]
maybe the ground will open
surely the earth will swallow her whole
one cracking blow to the temple
doubt takes hold, she’s lost control

[verse 2]
fires persist on the corridor walls
she jumps at the sound of each foot fall
long and dark is the journey ahead
at home her body turns and tosses in bed

often she thinks she hears somebody near
but it’s just her own blood rushing in her ears
the force inside her that steers her ahead
toward the beast in the darkness
the truth she seeks in the shadows
halfway between being alive and dead

the devil is out for her tonight
under the moonlit sky above
she’s frozen in fear, forlorn and fright
and in her bloodshot eyes
she sees the moon on high
pale and paralyzed
so bright and as white as the bones of a dove

[chorus]
maybe the ground will open
surely the earth will swallow her whole
one cracking blow to the temple
doubt takes hold, she’s lost control

[outro: david lamb & morganeve swain]
maybe the tides will save her (the devil is out for her tonight)
surely the moon she can befriend (under the moonlit sky above)
she opens her throat as if to howl (she’s frozen in fear, forlorn and fright)
releases her breath to the blissful end (releases her breath to the blissful end)
