guarded

(album: come out. you're hiding - 2017)

Tall walls here
Towering 'round home now, so guarded
Watch as they come crumbling 'round me

Everything, everything
Flows freely
Everything, everything

Shuffling your hold, crippling me
Silence in this room, the death of me
I'll keep close to home what's pulled from it
Guarded in me

Found reason ripped from beneath
Where is my intention?
New purpose; new reasons to sing my songs come swiftly

Everything, everything
Flows freely
Everything, everything

Shuffling your hold, crippling me
Silence in this room, the death of me
I'll keep close to home what's pulled from it
Guarded in me

And it breaks
I never thought I'd lose my place
I never thought it'd slip away
I never thought I couldn't keep it locked and guarded in me

Everything, everything

Shuffling your hold, crippling me
Silence in this room, the death of me
I'll keep close to home what's pulled from it
Guarded in me
