The Archers' Bows Have Broken

Who do you carry that 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 let's strap ourselves up to this engine now

With a god who we found lying 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

Order your daughters to ignore me, think that will sort me

And sweep me under the rug

While you're beating with a book everyone

The 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

Rolling 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 that 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 this

I might throw it away for fear of the silver sun

If you try running a maze of your lies

It's too hard to save you've thrown out everyone
