Carry the Flame

How naive can you be You little snowflake You think you're part of a plan Blind deaf and dumb Staring down at your thumbs I thought I raised a man You blame it on Mom & Dad And the system Your lack of mental health Go clean your room You can't fix the world Before you fix yourself Look out for number one You'll thank me later son Just keep your head down And you'll earn my crown Carry the flame Son when you're a man You take what you can Carry the flame How naive could I be You say you worked hard You built this all on your own? You keep us down just to lift you up Dad how's the view from your throne? See us march up the hill Towards your castle You sit hoarding your gold As the ash returns to ash I hear the stories you once told You're going to be fine If you give me what is mine Just keep your head down And you'll earn my crown Carry the flame Son when you're a man You take what you can Carry the flame Can you feel the water rising The asteroid is near Your house of gold is melting There's no place for it here The ground you know is shifting Your debts are coming due You welcome in the darkness The darkness overcomes you We'll carry the flame Your house is on fire We'll carry the flame Are you warm yet We'll carry the flame You lit the match We'll carry the flame Are you warm yet Are you warm yet? Give up what you had You'll thank me later dad I'll carry the flame Just keep your head down (I'll hold my head high) And you'll earn my crown (Stop living a lie) Carry the flame (I'll carry the flame) Son when you're a man (If you're just a man) You take what you can (Who takes all he can) Carry the flame (I'll carry the flame) We'll take a stand We'll give what we can We'll carry the flame Are you warm yet?
