lyrics

Barrier Doors (Demos Papadimas)

Well, some souls only rest upon their lovers’ toil
and I’m the sad, stuck man caught up in lost love’s coil
Well, I just can’t be freed, there ain’t no way to unwind
I’ve been starin’ at the past, and I’m starin’ my memory blind

I got empty bottles, empty glasses
Empty thoughts through which time passes
Empty cigarette packs down on empty floors
Feel like I’m headed through barrier doors

In the minutes, hours, and days, I have worried my mind into a craze
Ravin’ at the midnight hour, for the love that left me sour
Well the calm Riviera’s breeze, just left me with a heart to grieve
But now I’m drownin’ in dry white wine, but somehow I feel fine

I got empty bottles, empty glasses
Empty thoughts through which time passes
Empty cigarette packs down on empty floors
Feel like I’m headed through barrier doors

Well, the bottle ain’t got a drop, but I can’t bring myself to stop
Cause I’m always wanting more, though there’s nothing left to pour
Time is carrying me along, like the melody of a song
But the mysteries ain’t solved, in fact I think they’re even more involved

I got empty bottles, empty glasses
Empty thoughts through which time passes
Empty cigarette packs down on empty floors
Feel like I’m headed through barrier doors
