Lyrics[]

Always thought I needed a guardian
And now that I've got one, I wanna be free
I don't wanna live my life unhappily
I’m locked up in chains, laid out on the floor
I've been down this road before
I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna bleed
No matter how hard it might be

I wanna be free
From the dark that lives deep inside of me
Free from all the eyes I see watching over me
Don't want you to be there
Don't want you to care for me anymore
I wanna be free of the guardian
I am the guardian

There's more time to kill than I’m looking for
There’s something I’d like more
To feel like a child, somewhere within
Nothing left beneath this skin
Too tired to live, too tired to die
So I just stay high
I just wanna leave, it's swallowing me
Should I just keep trying?

I wanna be free
From the dark that lives deep inside of me
Free from all the eyes I see watching over me
Don't want you to be there
Don't want you to care for me anymore
I wanna be free of the guardian
I am the guardian

I wanna be free
From the dark that lives deep inside of me
Free from all the eyes I see watching over me
Don't want you to be there
Don't want you to care for me anymore
I wanna be free of the guardian
I am the guardian

I am the guardian
I am the guardian
I am the guardian
I am the guardian
