The Oh Hellos - Torches lyrics
[The Oh Hellos - Torches lyrics]
Running out of my mouth
(running out of my mouth
Running out of my mouth)
It's got you burning at the stake
Innocent or not
You're not a bet I care to take
And Father Ignorance will make
Brothers of us all
(brothers of us all, brothers of us all)
As he sets our torch aflame
Chasing down the flimsy specters
That we co-create
Over and over, again
We keep that old wheel turning
We spin it around
I got a terror I can't shake
Pushing down on my lungs
(pushing down on my lungs
Pushing down on my lungs)
It's got me lying there awake with a hand
On a gun while turning shadows into shapes
Mother Fortuna, O
She makes sisters of us all
(sisters of us all, sisters of us all)
When the faces in her wake
Look more like our own than
The effigies we immolate
Over and over, again
We keep that old wheel turning
Over and over, again
We lay the next spoke down
Over and over, again (oceans will roll in)
Over and over, again
We spin it around
