Barrier Lyrics

I knew this guy from paradise

I think that Mr. Jensen was his name

He asked his God if he could be agnostic

And He said that'd be okay

I helped him load his truck and watched him

Hit that gravel road one rainy day

I don't know if his wife or kids stuck with him

Or they went their separate ways

And he got me wondering if that's all we ever really were

Just desperate dreamers climbing in the rain

Their shredded fingers clinging to those soaked and broken stones

Just climbing 'cause we've got no other way

And we're too scared to turn back

Too scared to be found

Afraid to get up

'Cause we're too scared to fall down

Afraid to be judged

Afraid to go free

Afraid to become the things

We thought we could be

And we're to scared to turn back

I wonder as I wander on these rocks

All through the juniper and sage

That if I asked you all my questions

Would you even answer anything

But still I watch those painted scratches

In those hollow eyes upon your face

And try to see humanity forgotten

In this godforsaken place

And they got me wondering if that's all we ever really were

Just desperate dreamers climbing in the rain

Their shredded fingers clinging to those soaked and broken stones

Just climbing 'cause we've got no other way

And we're too scared to turn back

Too scared to be found

Afraid to get up

'Cause we're too scared to fall down

Afraid to be judged

Afraid to go free

Afraid to become the things

We thought we could be

And we're too scared to turn back

Too scared to be found

Afraid to get up

'Cause we're too scared to fall down

Afraid to be judged

Afraid to go free

Afraid to become the things

We thought we could be

And we're too scared to turn back
