Torches Together

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
