Archers

Who do you carry the 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 we strap ourselves up to this engine now
With a God who we found laying under the backseat
What did you learn tonight?
You’re shouting so loud, you barely joyous, 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
You can only blame yourself, it’s what I say
Oh!
Order your daughters to ignore me, think that will sort me
And sweep me under the rug
You’re beating with a book everyone
That book tells you to love
There is an ember in the heart of the kiln
And it’s burning hot with love
Burning out my sins until there’s nothing but dust
Rollin' 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 joyous, 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
You can only blame yourself, it’s what I say
Who do you carry the 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 joyous, 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
You can only blame yourself, it’s what I say
Feels like
We could escape
And I don’t mind
Throwing away
This filthy silver tongue
If you try
Running a maze
Of your lies
It’s too hard to save
If you’ve thrown out everyone
What did
you learn tonight?
You’re shouting so loud
you barely joyous, 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
You can only blame yourself
It’s what I say
