Standing Guard Lyrics

Well, all I want to do is trust someone

Enough to save a spot for two

Relieve some pressure from the mask I wear

Allow some life into these tubes

Well, all I want to do is burn these cards

Don't bother dealing out of hand

I can't remember why this game was fun

I can't remember where I am

Look around at all the little humans

Breaking each other's hearts

Satisfied to trade the chance to make it brighter

For the freedom to keep it dark

And maybe someday, Jesus or the aliens

Will save us from what we are

But in the meantime, I'll be here, standing guard

Well, all I want is equilibrium

I hate the concept of a chase

An evolution in the paradigm

Another way to interface

Well, I want to do is burn this bridge

And yet I know I never will

I want a world in which there are no walls

No reason for them to be built

Look around at all the little humans

Breaking each other's hearts

Satisfied to trade the chance to make it brighter

For the freedom to keep it dark

And maybe someday, Jesus or the aliens

Will save us from what we are

But in the meantime, I'll be here, standing guard

Look around at all the little humans

Breaking each other's hearts

Satisfied to trade the chance to make it brighter

For the freedom to keep it dark

And maybe someday, Jesus or the aliens

Will save us from what we are

But in the meantime, I'll be here, standing guard

Standing guard

Standing guard

Standing guard
