[Verse 1]
What is the significance in playing the part?
A smutty temperament, a sour tounge
Can you see behind the shadows, they poison my eyes?
Swaying boys and weeping egos burn into my mind

[Chorus]
I will protect her, I will protect her
I will protect her, I will protect her

[Verse 2]
Sinking on my way to rust
Border to a part without a title

There's a part of me in a part of you
And a little chain in a part of you
There's a part of me in a part of you
And a little chain in a part of you

[Chorus]
I will protect her, I will protect her
(Someone's gotta keep me alone)
I will protect her, I will protect her
(Someone's gotta keep me alone)

I will protect her, I will protect her
(Someone's gotta keep me alone)
I will protect her, I will protect you

[Bridge]
Curse this heart
But I needed a change from you
Curse this soul
But I needed a change, but I needed a change

There's a part of me in a part of you
And a little chain in a part of you
There's a part of me in a part of you
And a little chain in a part of you

[Chorus]
I will protect her, I will protect her
(Someone's gotta keep me alone)
I will protect her, I will protect her
(Someone's gotta keep me alone)

I will protect her, I will protect her
(Someone's gotta keep me alone)
I will protect her, I will protect you
(Someone's gotta keep me alone)

[Outro]
Curse this heart
But I needed a change from you
Curse this soul
But I needed a change, but I needed change

Sonny Moore found club and mainstream stardom beginning in 2008, when he swapped his gig as post-hardcore frontman for From First to Last and created the dancefloor-oriented project, Skrillex. He initially used the name for live DJ sets, but in 2009 the project moved into the studio with Skrillex remixing the likes of Lady Gaga and Snoop Dogg.

Now he strives in mainstream success, playing monstrous live sets, releasing songs that rack up millions of listens and producing for the likes of Justin Bieber, A$AP Rocky, Ty Dolla Sign, and Ellie Goulding, and formed the duo Jack U with equally successful producer Thomas “Diplo” Pentz.
