Lyrics

Who do you carry that 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 let's strap ourselves up to this engine now
With a garder we found laying under the back seat

What did you learn tonight?
While shouting so loud, you barely enjoy this broken thing
You are a voice that never sings, is what I say
You are freezing over hell
You are bringing on that end you do so well
And you can only blame yourself, is what is 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

There is an ember in the heart of this kiln
And it's burning hot with love
Burning out my center till there's nothing but dust
Then rolling 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 are freezing over hell
You are bringing on the end you do so well
And you can only blame yourself, is 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?
You're shouting so loud, you barely enjoy this broken thing
You're a voice that never sings, is what I say
You are freezing over hell
You are bringing on the end you do so well
And you can only blame yourself, is what I say

Feels like we could escape this
I might throw it away for fear of the silver sun
If you try running a maze of your lies
It's too hard to save you've thrown out everyone
