Elliot Moss - Barricade lyrics

Cause I don’t wanna fear you

I can’t concentrate
If I keep seeing your face
Showing up in tea leaves lit up on my TV
I can’t stand up straight under your gravity
So I lay awake with my eyes closed

But who can really sleep
When you’re counting them high
On your long summer drives for mercy’s sake
Would you look at your life?
Would you look at your life?
Now I’m not eating i can’t speak up
Under the table my legs are crossed

What the hell am I doing
Here in the golden dark?
What the hell am I doing
Here in the golden dark?
Feeling like I’m someone else
Who looks the part
I built up barricades to block my heart

Cause I don’t wanna fear you
I don’t wanna fear you

I can’t punctuate these boneless days
They keep crawling in sinking into my skin
I’m under your gravity frozen mathematically
And I lay awake with my eyes closed

But who can really move
When you’re counting them high
On your long summer drives
For mercy’s sake, for mercy’s sake
For mercy’s sake i thought I’d ride all the
Same roads and skies for mercy’s sake
Would you look at your life?
Would you look at your life?
And I’m not breathing i can’t speak up
Under the table my legs are crossed

What the hell am I doing
Here in the golden dark?
What the hell am I doing
Here in the golden dark?
Feeling like I’m someone else
Who looks the part
I built up barricades to block my heart

Cause I don’t wanna fear you
(What the hell am I doing
Here in the golden dark)

Who’d I think I was?
I’ll never ride all the same
Roads and skies because
I’m under your gravity frozen mathematically
Crushed between your teeth
I lay awake with my eyes closed
I lay awake with my eyes closed
