Barricade

from Night Rolls Open by Andy Gibson

/

lyrics

still night, cross the bridge
walk the streets of an old city
as you cross the bridge you remember the calling
that you once ignored and just kept walking

your pain is distant
you carry it alone
you say a soldier’s world wasn’t made for tears
so you lock them in
and barricade the floodgates
a broken fist where your broken heart should be

memories walk, they walk across your face
you know they’ve set up camps and they’ve built cities
and they’re in the way
of a pure light
that’s shining deeper than the hollow

let’s open this, make it real
shine a light on it, so you can heal
