Torches Together

	作曲 : 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 torches together!
	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!
	With no beginning, with no end
	Take down a guitar and 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
