Lyrics Paper Castles (Live at Funkhaus, 2019) - Alice Phoebe Lou

I'm no white dove
But I stand here with all my love
Uncover the windows
Let in the light
Grab the hand that's reaching out
Face out to an empty room where no one's there to hear their prayers
But you and I
You and I

On the road through the fog
Through the smoke with my heart in my throat
On the road through the fog
Through the smoke with my heart in my throat

I'm lookin' in
I'm thinkin' out loud
Now that I've seen
I used to hide from my own mind
This battle's not mine, oh, no

They're building a moat around castles of paper
This world can cater for us all
They're building a moat around castles of paper
This world can cater for us all
When the sun rises, it rises for us all
When the sun rises, it rises for us all

I'm lookin' in
I'm thinkin' out loud
Now that I've seen
I used to hide from my own mind
This battle's mine
