Текст Pat Green – Barricades

Close my eyes and ask 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 truth

And it seems so hard to keep it 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 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 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

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 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
