Barricades

Close my eyes and ask myself a question

Why is it I do what I do?

Am I lookin' for some happy definition

Life and love in the corners of the truth?

Or am I just some, curious bystander

Lookin' at the world through a child's eyes

Sunlight always shinin' on my shoulders

While the storm rages on deep inside, deep inside

And it seems so hard to keep it all together

When the walls are fallin' down on every side

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

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

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

Direction from inside on what to do

I know I should have all of the answers

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

And it seems so hard, to keep it all together

When the walls are fallin' down on every side

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

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

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

And it seems so hard, to keep it all together

When the walls are fallin' down on every side

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

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