Torches Together - MeWithoutYou
Why burn poor and lonely
Under a bowl or under a lampshade
Or on the shelf beside the bed
Where at night you lay turning like a door on it's hinges
First on your left side
Then on your right side then your left side again
Why burn poor and lonely
Tell all the stones we're gonna make a building
We'll cut into shape and set into place
Or if you'd rather be a window
I'll gladly be the frame
Reflecting any kind of words
We'll let in all the blame
And ruin our reputation all the same
So never mind our plan making
We'll start living
Anyway aren't you unbearably sad
Then why burn so poor and lonely
We'll be like torches
We'll be like torches
We'll be like torches no
We'll be torches together
Torches together
We'll be like torches
We'll be like torches
With whatever respect our tattered dignity demands
Torches together hand in hand
Why pluck one string
What good is just one note
Oh one string sounds fine I guess
We we're once 'One Notes'
We were lonely wheat quietly ground into grain
What light and momentary pain
So why this safe distance this curious look
Why tear out single pages
When you can throw away the book
Why pluck one string when you can strum the guitar
Strum the guitar
Strum the guitar
Strum the guitar
With no beginning with no ending
Take down a guitar and strum the guitar
Strum the guitar
If you're afraid
And I'm afraid and everyone's afraid
And everyone knows it
But we don't have to be afraid anymore
You played the flute but no one was dancing
You sang a sad song and none of us cried
You played the flute but no one was dancing
You sang a sad song and none of us cried
You played the flute but no one was dancing
You sang a sad song and none of us cried
You played the flute but no one was dancing
You sang a sad song
You sang such a sad song
