A Voice in the Wilderness: If you must falter, be wise

A Voice in the Wilderness

As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there's a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in such twilight that we must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness. -- William O. Douglas

If you must falter, be wise - Disturbia

Disturbia
Rihanna

What's wrong with me?
Why do I feel like this?
I'm going crazy now...

No more gas - in the red; can't even get it started
Nothing heard - nothing said; can't even speak about it
On my life, on my head - don't wanna think about it
Feels like I'm going insane, yeah

It's a thief in the night to come and grab you
It can creep up inside you and consume you
A disease of the mind - it can control you
It's too close for comfort - oh

Put on your pretty lies - you're in the city of wonder
Ain't gonna play nice - watch out you might just go under
Better think twice - your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter - be wise

Your mind's in disturbia - it's like the darkness is light
Disturbia - am I scaring you tonight?
Disturbia - ain't used to what you like?
Disturbia - disturbia

Faded pictures on the wall - it's like they talking to me
Disconnecting phone calls - the phone don't even ring
I gotta get out or figure this sh** out
It's too close for comfort - oh

It's a thief in the night to come and grab you
It can creep up inside you and consume you
A disease of the mind - it can control you
I feel like a monster - oh

Put on your pretty lies - you're in the city of wonder
Ain't gonna play nice - watch out you might just go under
Better think twice - your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter - be wise

Your mind's in disturbia - it's like the darkness is light
Disturbia - am I scaring you tonight?
Disturbia - ain't used to what you like?
Disturbia - disturbia

Release me from this curse I'm in
Trying to maintain but I'm struggling
If you can't go-o-o
I think I'm gonna ah, ah, ah, ah

Put on your brake lights - you're in the city of wonder
Ain't gonna play nice - watch out you might just go under
Better think twice - your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter - be wise

Disturbia - it's like the darkness is light
Disturbia - am I scaring you tonight?
Disturbia - ain't used to what you like?
Disturbia, disturbia...
