Light the torch, burn it all, you should drop your heads in shame
We'll pass the torch, hang the light and ornamental ropes of blame

On these darkened porches where we used to spin those dark secrets we won't tell
Skeletons are dancing on our grave mistakes, empty closets open hell
You think you've come real far, hanging on those stars, shooting up with poisoned wells
In the end who's laughing, hopeful, tall, and straight
In the end the meek rebel?

Glasses down, bottoms up, this party never ends
Watchful eyes, and stolen cups your bottled message sends

Said you'd never lie, but here we are, holding the fort down
Our future lost in combat, eternal wars, eternal frowns

Manicured lawns and unspoken bombs
Mingle as we march, mingle as we

Sunken ships that pass in the night
Preparing for the battle of our lives
