"Warden" lyrics

"Warden"

And I am the teacher
And I am hard work
And I am in the line of fire
And I am no one's keeper

The ignorance will keep me in
It crawls under my skin
But forging the lullaby
Keeps me high

And I am the abider
And I am the ill omen
And I am at the crossroads
And I am no one's keeper

How I've waited to say

Close down
The weary mind
The future has passed
Stay unaware
That the dreams we shared
Shattered at last
Give in to the impending amnesia
The freezing rash
Now shut
The tired eye
The future has passed

And I am the warden
And I am the citadel

How I've waited to say

Close down
The weary mind
The future has passed
Stay unaware
That the dreams we shared
Shattered at last
Give in to the impending amnesia
The freezing rash
Now shut
The tired eye
The future has passed
