Barricade

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, when there's no more tears to cry

Thieves and snakes need homes, need homes

Barricade

It starts to feel like a barricade 

To 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 didn'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 

To 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

And we said....

I'm sorry

Say I'm sorry

Sometimes it feels like a barricade 

To keep us away, 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

The Lighthouse

It's the place that's said to break

It's just as safe from the outside tonight

And I want that

I face the storms at the tides

From the lighthouse

And I want that

Unleash the storm and the night

 

 

 

 

 

 

What do the waves have to say now?

Slow now

And let the waves have their way now

Slow, and let the waves have their day

And I want that

Here I've been living on roofs made from sin

Upward and outward, "Begin, begin."

Here I've been lucid I'm living within

Inwardly urgent, I'm sinking again

Interpol

Obstacle 1

I wish i could eat the salt off your last faded lips

We can cap the old times make playing only logical harm

We can top the old lines clay-making that nothing else will change.

But she can read,
she can read,
 she's bad

Oh, she's bad

It's different now that I'm poor and aging, I'll never see this face again

You go stabbing yourself in the neck

It's different now that I'm poor and aging, and I'll never see this place again

And you go stabbing yourself in the neck

We can find new ways of living make playing only logical harm

And we can top the old times, clay-making that nothing else will change.

But she can read,
she's bad

Oh, she's bad

It's in the way that she posed,

it's in the things that she puts in my head

Her stories are boring and stuff.

She's always calling my bluff.

She puts the weights into my little heart,

And she gets in my room and she takes it apart.

She puts the weights into my little heart,

I said she puts the weights into my little heart.

She packs it away

It's in the way that she walks

Her heaven is never enough

She puts the weights in my heart

She puts, oh she puts the weights into my little heart.
