Lyrics
Barricade
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I did not take to analysis so
I had to make up my mind
And hold it for a while
I would not just leave you without a kiss
But I guess there must come a time
And there is no more tears to cry
Thieves and snakes need homes
Need homes
Barricade
It starts to feel like a barricade
That keep us away
To keep us away, it kind of does
It starts to feel like a barricade
To keep us away
Keep us away
I could not lean on the politics
'Cause I did't want to train my eye
To hold so short a time
Oh, so high, just don't know where
The blind could lead the sightless
But I still like to witness
Thieves and snakes need homes
Need homes
Barricade
It starts to feel like a barricade
That keep us away
To keep us away, it kind of does
It starts to feel like a barricade
To keep us away
Keep us away
Full speed half blind full tilt decline
We turn to past times
Full speed half blind
(You know us
You know us
What we saw was a matter of a fiction)
I'm sorry
(And a plan)
Say I'm sorry
Sometimes it feel like a barricade
That keep us away
To keep us away, it kind of does
How much fear can you fabricate
To keep us away
Keep us away you know us
Full speed half blind full tilt decline
We turn to past times full speed half blind
Full speed half blind full tilt decline
Onto old times full speed half blind
