Shoulder to Shoulder Around the Fire

Well I haven't been sleeping all that well

My mind is a constant carousel where the horses run wild

Until the boardwalk ends

Each one has a rider and I think I know them

These faces familiar, with eyes so deep

Like craters or novels or instinct

I tell them my troubles; all of my cold conflicts

There are no answers sometimes, there is no fix

So we stand shoulder to shoulder we stand side by side

We stand shoulder to shoulder around the fire

We stand shoulder to shoulder we stand side by side

There is no burden to shoulder alone this time

But my mind keeps on racing; it's a speeding car

Through gardens and wastelands wide and far

And the cities all crumble brick by brick

While I'm stuck on the top floor watching it give

We stand shoulder to shoulder we stand side by side

We stand shoulder to shoulder around the fire

We stand shoulder to shoulder we stand side by side

There is no burden to shoulder alone this time
