Barriers Between Us (Spoken Poem with Music)

Lyrics:

Barriers Between Us

In our time there’s been some barriers between us
Yeah, in our time there’s been some barriers between us
There’s been a few things standing in our way
There’s probably a few things we need to discuss

The buttons are stuck and won’t come off
Man, the buttons are stuck and won’t come off
I can’t feel my fingers working properly
Everything’s burning between ‘em like a Molotov

All the protective packaging can’t be removed
The protective packaging can’t be removed
They’ve really wedged it in there good
I promise it just can’t be moved

I just noticed that the headboard’s broken
You know I just noticed that the headboard’s broken
I have to ask do you have any spare screws
If not, everything better be left unspoken

I’m really eager but the laces won’t come undone
You know I’m really eager but the laces won’t come undone
Can’t you see that everything is really knotted up
I’m really trying but we can’t get this begun

I’m flipping all the switches but the light won’t turn on
When I’m flipping all the switches but the light won’t turn on
I’m no electrician but I’m grabbing the wires
By the time I get it fixed you’re already gone
