Barricade Lyrics

It's been how many years now, I can't even tell

Stranded on the island of your familiar patterns

I've written words for you, far too many to remember

But they've stupidly crashed like birds on your shutters

Your hand in mine becomes transparent

It seems like soon it won't be there

Won't be there

The boats were waltzing tenderly in the little harbour

The full moon solely shone to lighten up your amber eyes

And yet we somehow failed to mollify the anguish

Despite our heads against each other and a pair of shivering spines

Your hand in mine becomes transparent

It seems like soon it won't be there

A slowly fading picture

No acts of heroism

I guess it's time to let the past curl up and rest

We shared some bitter clarity in silent agreement

I said "I need you but I'll build this barricade if I must"

I've written words for you, far too many to remember

But I'm pretty sure by now that these have been my last
