[Verse 1] Boards are on the windows The doors are bolted shut There's a tattered old welcome mat To give you a clue as to where you're at If you look hard enough, you'll trace down the path [Chorus 1] Whatever it is, it bears the cross If you decide to wait No matter how much force you use You can never get past the gates [Verse 2] All my dreams are violent Crippled emotionally Content inside my fortress To explain with me, I'd have to ask this That's a whole lot to ask from me again [Chorus 1] Whatever it is, it bears the cross If you decide to wait No matter how much force you use You can never get past the gates [Chorus 2] It may be hard to fathom To consider myself sane But no matter how much force you use You can never get past the gates [Refrain] Can't get past the gates Can't get past the gates Can't get past the gates Can't get past the gates [Guitar Solo] [Refrain] Can't get past the gates Can't get past the gates Can't get past the gates Can't get past the gates Can't get past the gates Can't get past the gates Can't get past the gates Can't get past the gates [Verse 3] Some men buy the roses Take it far too serious The walls that keep me inside Are there to make sure you stay outside [Chorus 1] Whatever it is, it bears the cross If you decide to wait No matter how much force you use You can never get past the gates [Chorus 2] It may be hard to fathom To consider myself sane But no matter how much force you use You can never get past the gates [Chorus 1] Whatever it is, it bears the cross If you decide to wait No matter how much force you use You can never get past the gates [Chorus 2] It may be hard to fathom To consider myself sane But no matter how much force you use You can never get past the gates [Refrain] Can't get past the gates Can't get past the gates Can't get past the gates Can't get past the gates Can't get past the gates Can't get past the gates Can't get past the gates Can't get past the gates
