The Animal Warfare Act - Persian Brown Lyrics

Take over my body
Seep into my soul
I lie down defenseless and
I leave you in control

'Cause lately I've been strung out
Lately I've been down
I need someone to pick me up
I need you, Persian brown

Sometimes I hear voices
I don't know if they're real
Sometimes I see faces but
I don't know what I feel

Every time I'm with you
I sense you deep inside
I know I can't escape despair but
In you I can confide

I don't have the willpower to resist your charm
You promise you'll always keep me safe from harm
Take me to a place where I know no fear
Everything else begins to fade and disappear
Persian brown

They tell me that you're no good
They say you have to go
I can't live without or with you now
You're becoming all I know

You sink into my bloodstream
I feel your sweet embrace
You offer me salvation from
The hell I have to face

You power my obsession
You add fuel to my fire as
I carry out my orders in
This wicked, cruel empire
Depictions of my former self
Of what I used to be
That was all so long ago
It's different now, you see

They say I must grow stronger 'cause I'm trapped in your chains
That you're a vile toxin coursing through my veins
I cannot fight this and there's no way out
I need your touch beyond a shadow of a doubt
Persian brown

When you're not in my system
I can't keep you off my mind
The world goes on around me as
I fall so far behind

If only one last time
Won't you listen to my voice?
I stand alone with you now
I haven't got a choice

My hand reaches out blindly
To grasp a bit of hope
All that's left around me is changing and
I just can't seem to cope

Here in my blackest hour
You silence my internal screams
My life crumbles down around me now
The evanescence of my dreams
