[Silence]
[Instrumental – Driving Bass, Staccato Guitar, Mechanical Beat, Synth Pulse]
[Intro]
[Filtered Voice, Low Drone]
One wall… becomes two…
(None too few)
Then multiplies…
(… like flies)
[Beat drops]
[Verse 1]
Lines drawn hard across the ground
“No way through” is the only sound
Every path gets shut down tight
Turning day into endless night
What was open starts to close
Every answer overdosed
Stack it up, reinforce
Block the flow, deny the course
[Pre-Chorus]
Every barrier you create
Only amplifies the weight
One becomes a mirrored view
Now it’s doubled coming through
[Bridge]
I see your blockade
(Ace of spades)
And raise you to two (too)
Blockade (Blockade)
Double down, divide the space
Watch it multiply in place
[Chorus]
Blockade
(Raised to the state)
…of confusion
Blockade (Blockade)
An insane
(Criminal institution)
Disdain
(For evolution)
Blockade (Blockade)
All hopes fade
Blockade (Blockade)
[Instrumental Break – Distorted Guitar Riff, Syncopated Drums, Rising Synth]
[Verse 2]
Walls on walls, no room to move
Nothing left to disapprove
Every door gets locked in line
Echoes of a grand design
Logic trapped inside the frame
Every rule repeats the same
What was once a single line
Now expands and intertwines
[Pre-Chorus]
Every push becomes a shove
Every “below” becomes “above”
Mirror systems feed the loop
Building up the doubled group
[Bridge]
I see your blockade
(Ace of spades)
And raise you to two (too)
Blockade (Blockade)
Squared away but out of hand
Now it spreads across the land
[Chorus]
Blockade
(Raised to the state)
…of confusion
Blockade (Blockade)
An insane
(Criminal institution)
Disdain
(For evolution)
Blockade (Blockade)
All hopes fade
Blockade (Blockade)
[Breakdown – Minimal Beat, Echoed Vocals]
One… becomes two…
Two… becomes more…
Block the path…
Then block the door…
[Build – Percussion Layers, Synth Swell, Guitar Feedback]
[Final Chorus – Full Intensity, Layered Vocals]
Blockade
(Raised to the state)
…of confusion
Blockade (Blockade)
System made
(Self-collusion)
Decay
(In conclusion)
Blockade (Blockade)
All hopes fade
Blockade (Blockade)
[Outro]
[Instrumental Fade – Pulsing Bass Slows, Static, Final Guitar Hit]
What you built to keep things out…
Now keeps you in… without a doubt…
