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
