(A continuation of the theme in Sting of Fate, addressing the detrimental limitations we sometimes put upon ourselves.)
Barricades are everywhere, so many different kinds
Some are real, some are fake, some just in our minds
Barricades can keep us out or keep us all in line
Is your life a barricade, a wall you stand behind?
Piece by piece, brick by brick just tear it all apart
Whatever's keeping you inside, don't let it hold your heart
If you have a barricade do you rent or own,
Do you hide behind your barricade, do you call it home
If silence is your barricade, what is it that you hide
Is it some dark secret, you keep buried deep inside
Piece by piece, brick by brick, just tear it all apart
Whatever's keeping you inside, don't let it hold your heart
There's a bridge you just can't cross, ‘cause you're afraid of the loss
And you might not make it back again
But waiting on the other side; a life you've been denied
And all the tears that you cried, filled the river with your pain
So fight the fear that you feel and the things you see will be real,
instead of just another fantasy
In your mind
