Barricades (The Blanck Mass Recording) Lyrics by Editors

The Blanck Mass Sessions

2019

[Verse 1]
How long could you wait for someone you love?
Just looking for the tunnels of light coming down from above
I was waiting by the phone, the moment you called, the moment you caved
Just tell me all your secrets and lies, your barricades
[Verse 2]
When it gets dark, streaking the youth
Holding me back from falling, through tunnels of light emitted from you
I was waiting by the phone, the moment you called, the moment you caved
Where would I be without your secrets and lies, your barricades
[Chorus]
Don't run away, don’t run away, don't run away, don't run away
Just barricade now
Don’t run away, don't run away, don't run away, don't run away
Just barricade now, oh
[Verse 3]
A memory of you plucked from the pool
Just tell me have I met you before, did we play the fool?
Serenade me while I sleep, ripple the walls, keep us out of sight
My memory's playing tricks and games, the madness you loved, the tunnels of light
[Chorus]
Don't run away, don't run away, don't run away, don’t run away
Just barricade now
Don’t run away, don't run away, don’t run away, don't run away
Just barricade now, oh
Don't run away, don't run away, don’t run away, don't run away
Just barricade now
Don't run away, don't run away, don't run away, don't run away
Just barricade now, oh
Don't run away now, just barricade now
Don't run away, don't run away, don't run away, don't run away
Just barricade now
(Don't run away now, don't run away now)
Don't run away, don't run away, don't run away, don't run away
Just barricade now, oh
Don't run away, don't run away, don't run away, don't run away
Just barricade now
(Don't run away now, don't run away now)
Don't run away, don't run away, don't run away, don't run away
Just barricade now, oh
[Outro]
How long could you wait for someone you love?
Just looking for the tunnels of light coming down from above
