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
