Who do you carry the torch for, my young man?
Do you believe in anything?
Do you carry it around just to burn things down?
Meet me tonight on the turnpike, my darling,
Because we believe in everything,
If we swim on these debts then we're sure to drown
So we'll strap ourselves up to this engine now,
With a god that we found laying under the backseat.
What did you learn tonight?
Shouting so loud, you barely see
You're this broken thing,
You're a voice that never sings, that's what I say.
You were freezing over hell,
You were bringing on the end; you do so well,
You can only blame yourself, that's what I say.
All that you've taught us to ignore me because I was sorry,
and sweep me under the rug,
You're beating with a book everyone the book tells you to love,
There is an ember in the heart of the kiln and it's burning hot with love,
Burning out my center till there's nothing but dust,
Rolling me with care into your cigarette,
'cause the god I believe in worked on a campaign trail.
What did you learn tonight?
Shouting so loud, you barely see
You're this broken thing,
You're a voice that never sings, that's what I say.
You were freezing over hell,
You were bringing on the end; you do so well,
You can only blame yourself, that's what I say.
Who do you carry that torch for, my young man?
Do you believe in anything?
Do you carry it around just to burn things to the ground?
What did you learn tonight?
Shouting so loud, you barely see
(Feels like we could escape, I don't mind throwing away the filthy silver song.)
You're this broken thing,
You're a voice that never sings, that's what I say.
(If you try running a maze, if your lies are true, I would say that you sold out everyone.)
You were freezing over hell,
You were bringing on the end; you do so well,
You can only blame yourself, that's what I say.
