Pat Green - Barricades lyrics

Close my eyes Close my eyes And ask myself a question And ask myself a question Why is I do what I do Why is I do what I do Am I looking for some happy definition? Am I looking for some happy definition? Of Life, and love and the corners of the truth Life, and love and the corners of the truth Or am I just some curious bystander Or am I just some curious bystander Looking at the world through a child's eyes Looking at the world through a child's eyes Sunlight, always shining on my shoulders Sunlight, always shining on my shoulder While the storm rages on deep inside, deep inside While the storm rages on deep inside And it seems so hard And it seems so hard To keep it all together To keep it all together When the walls are fallin' down When the walls are fallin' down On every side On every side I'll be damned I'll be damned If I give up on it easy If I give up on you easy I've worked too hard I've worked too hard To get the barricades this high To put the barricades aside Now This world is a stage This world is a stage We're meant to play on We're meant to play on Direction from inside Direction from inside On what to do On what to do I know I should have all the answers I don't know how I could have all the answers Deep inside I haven't got a clue, not a clue When inside I don't have a clue And it seems so hard And it seems so hard To keep it all together To keep it all together When the walls are fallin' down When the walls are fallin' down On every side On every side I'll be damned I'll be damned If I give up on it easy If I give up on you easy I've worked too hard I've worked too hard To get the barricades this high To put the barricades aside Told myself that I would be ok Tell me something Told myself I'd be alright And I'll be okay No doubt Told myself I'd be alright Somewhere low I know No doubt That I've been lyin So when do I know I can't believe it took 30 years When I've been lyin'? To figure that sh** out I can't believe it took 30 years To figure that sh** out And it seems so hard To keep it all together And it seems so hard When the walls are fallin' down To keep it all together On every side When the walls are fallin' down I'll be damned On every side If I give up on it easy I'll be damned I've worked too hard If I give up on you easy To get the barricades this high I've worked too hard To put the barricades aside
