Guardian

Down a spiral stairway
 Like a blackout memory
 You prop up your work
 Like a figure of straw
 Keeping your ghosts from the garden
 But is it red ripe or deadened skin?
 
 Spiraling further in

 Burn a candle to my skin
 Turn the handle, let me in
 I can not be your guardian anymore
 Burn a candle to my skin
 Turn the handle, let me in
 I can not be your medicine anymore, anymore
 ♪
 I am a moment in time
 When your eyes start to wander
 And your head starts to spin
 From the simplest task
 Deciding what you will wear
 Finding faults in a straight line
 I have to remember to stop
 ♪
 Wringing out the same cloth

 Burn a candle to my skin
 Turn the handle, let me in
 I can not be your guardian anymore
 Burn a candle to my skin
 Turn the handle, let me in
 I can not be your medicine anymore, anymore
