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
Cause we believe in everything
If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown
So we strap ourselves into this engine now
With our god who we found laying under the back seat
What did you learn tonight?
You're shouting so loud you barely enjoy this broken thing
You're a voice that never sings, is what I say
You were freezing over hell
You were bringing on the end, you do so well
You can only blame yourself, it's what I say
Oh, order your daughters to ignore me think that will sort me?
And sweep me under the rug
While you're beating with a book everyone that book tells you to love
The book tells you to love
There is an ember in the heart of the kiln
And its burning hot with love
Burning out my center till there's nothing but dust
Holding me with care into your cigarette
Cause the god I believe in never worked on a campaign trail
What did you learn tonight?
You're shouting so loud you barely enjoy this broken thing
You're a voice that never sings, is what I say
You were freezing over hell
You were bringing on the end, you do so well
You can only blame yourself, it's what I say
Who do you carry the torch for, my young man?
Do you believe in anything?
Do you carry it around just to burn things the ground?
What did you learn tonight?
You're shouting so loud you barely enjoy this broken thing
You're a voice that never sings, is what I say
You were freezing over hell
You were bringing on the end, you do so well
You can only blame yourself, it's what I say
Feels like we could escape
And I don't mind throwing away this filthy silver song
If you try running a maze of your lies
It's too hard to save if you've thrown out everyone
