Barricades Lyrics

Barricades

Close my eyes and ask myself a question

Why is it I do what I do

Am I looking for some happy definition

Of life and love in the corners of the truth

Or am I just some curious bystander

Looking at the world through a child's eyes

Sunlight always shining on my shoulders

While the storm rages on deep inside, deep inside



Chorus

And it seems so hardto keep in all together

When the walls are falling down on every side

Yeah, but I'll be damned if I give up on it easy

I've worked too hard to get the barricades this high



Now this world's a stage we're meant to play on

Direction from inside on what to do

I know I should have all the answers

Deep inside I haven't got a clue, not a clue



Chorus



Told myself that I would be okay

Told myself I'd be all right no doubt

Somewhere Low I know that I've been lying

Can't believe it took me thirty years

To figure that shit out



Chorus
