Another winter I survived
Another child taken down into the ground
And though he's melted with the snow

I'm still praying he'll be found

But I don't want to live inside this skin
I don't want to see who you are
I want to know you instead

And it's not a lot of you to ask of me
It's the least I can do as far as I can see
I'll carry your torch
I'll take the blame
I'll be the cradle for your flame

Another cutting in your vein
See the resignation rise into the sky
And now I'm taking on your pain
I'm seeing through your eyes

But I don't want to live inside this skin
I don't want to see who you are
I want to know you instead

And there's nothing new
I still cling to destiny
If you were here I know you'd never put this on me
But I'll carry your torch
I'll take the blame
I'll be the cradle for your flame

I'll carry your torch
I'll take the blame
I'll be the cradle for your flame
