《Torches and Tragedies》歌词

[00:00:00] Torches and Tragedies - Good Riddance

[00:00:17] Children who watch their

[00:00:17] Fathers rise to work each day

[00:00:19] Becoming bitter as

[00:00:20] They piss their lives away

[00:00:21] Out of balance as

[00:00:22] He stumbles to the porch

[00:00:24] Too young to recognize

[00:00:25] The passing of the torch

[00:00:26] And so they cry in fear

[00:00:28] They wonder why not here

[00:00:29] The cycle punctuates an

[00:00:30] Atmosphere of pain and lies

[00:00:32] It gets to where one never

[00:00:33] Knows what to expect

[00:00:34] A bedtime story or a broken nose or neck

[00:00:38] They take it in and take it on

[00:00:40] Like they've been shown

[00:00:41] It goes on and on and

[00:00:43] Too many sterile homes

[00:00:44] Without a thing to say

[00:00:46] A generation losing

[00:00:47] Innocence this way and

[00:00:48] No recognition of

[00:00:49] The bridges as they burn

[00:00:51] Just repetition of behaviors

[00:00:52] They have learned

[00:00:53] And so they cry in fear

[00:00:54] They wonder why not here

[00:00:56] We tip the fragile scales of

[00:00:57] Temperament and guilt

[00:00:58] Too soon mistaken for

[00:00:59] The will that makes us strong

[00:01:01] But looking back it's just

[00:01:02] The shame we pass along

[00:01:04] They take it in and take it on

[00:01:07] Like they've been shown

[00:01:08] It goes on and on and

[00:01:10] My dreams too often true

[00:01:13] I will never be the same as you

[00:01:15] Born dead to live a lie

[00:01:18] Shut down when I see you cry
