Torches Together ​mewithoutYou

[Verse 1]
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 its hinges?
First on your left side, then on your right side
Then your left side again

[Verse 2]
Why burn poor and lonely?
Tell all the stones we're gonna make a building
We'll be cut into shape and set into place
Or if you'd rather be a window I'll gladly be the frame
Reflecting any kind 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?

[Chorus]
We'll be like torches, we'll be like torches
We'll be like torches, oh
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
