Tigers Jaw: Guardian

Follow Tigers Jaw:

LYRICS
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 cannot be your guardian anymore.
Burn a candle to my skin,
turn the handle, let me in.
I cannot be your medicine 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.

Cant believe this song is already over 7 years old

[cheyhotdogs]

If there’s no 10 year tour for Spin that comes to my neighborhood… I’ll perish.

[jaennr]

This is still my favorite song of all time.

This “Spin” album is perfection 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

[iamjlav]

I truly don't understand why this band isn't more popular. This is all so well put together and they are consistently putting out solid material. It's unfortunate because they deserve more recognition. But in the meantime I'll enjoy them

[egcheeze]

It's like if the Michael Scott Paper Company recorded an album

Lyrics: (comment for suggested corrections)

Down a spiraled stairway
Like a blackened memory
The wrap of the old wound
Like a figure was drawn
Keeping your ghost from the garden
But is it red rot or deadened skin?
Spiraling further in
Spiraling further in

[Chorus]
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 the moment in time
When your eyes start to wander
And your head starts to spin
In the simplest task
Deciding what you would wear
Found your faults in a straight line
Had to remember to stop
Wringing out the same cloth

[Chorus] x2

[diegocardona]
