Behind The Barricades Lyrics by Jacob Bellens

Polyester Skin

2016

Lately I've been thinking
About the birds and the bees
The heartbeats of the monkeys that sit in the trees
Singing for tomorrow and the karma police
I am trying to be everything you want me to be
I try to remember but tend to forget
Calm under pressure everywhere I tread
Rugged or tender the chances i get
For worse or for better they all go to my head
On a day like today
Where the sun has been shining
Everything that you say
Leads me to the question
Do you want me to stay
I can tell you've been crying
That you're not quite okay
Behind the barricades
Like the little voices in the back of your head
Remind you of the monsters hiding under your bed
I speak of the future as i think to myself
That my memory will live on after my body is dead
That love is forever, that you will be mine
That life is a river, that both our hearts are blind
That we'll be together
Through rain and through shine
As long as the weather and time is on our side
So is it time to begin
Are you coming or going
Are you betting to win
Your one and only
Should I fold and give in
Is my vanity Showing
Where it blows in the wind
The answer lies within
On a day like today
Where the sun has been shining
Everything that you say
Leads me to the question
Do you want me to stay
I can tell you've been crying
That you're not quite okay
Behind the barricades
