lyrics

Torch


You want it too badly you want it too hard
You hold it so tightly you know it is lost
You know it will leave and you will deny
Never admit that something could die

You say it so softly you utter it twice
You want it so hotly it's burning like ice
The years on the tongue the words in the air
Sending them falling armoured in prayer

I know just when you're in sight of it
You can see the light of it
Calls are getting closer it's come to you
Yours cause you have paid the price
Justify the sacrifice
Blinded by the light you are why and how
Safe for now


You only want water you want to know why
If you were her daughter she wanted to die
But she cannot say what you want to hear
The words are not in her the silence is clear

When you try to put a face on it
Beg a little grace from it
Giving it a name you can own it by
Put it in a muzzle and live within the puzzle
It's acid in the vein that no lullaby
Can sanctify


There is no rescue here are the reins
Liberty tests you lazy are chains
The battle is through and what was it for
The lie of salvation the glamour of war

Your loyal opponent the devil you know
The shadow each moment struggles to throw
Give up to the sun he's betting you won't
Do it and run to the devil you don't
