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
