We Should All Burn Together

(Intro)
Each verse is supposed to bring closure I guess
The first is for Nick
The second's for women
And the third is for me

(Sample Chorus)
If this is to end in fire
Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high
Into the night
Calling out father, oh
Stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountainside
Ah~

(Verse 1)
It's been about six months since the day that you passed us
Although it was unfair, many are saying it's tragic
I agree completely, your death created a sadness
But at the same time, your very life created laughter
That many people cherished, and I among the many
You appreciated beauties in life and how they vary
You taught us that our obstacles in life are never scary
So long as we are proud of all the light that we are bearing
Keep pushing the boundaries of our potential and limits
That was the value you added, and I will never forget it
In fact, I plan to show it off like a crest of your wisdom
And to keep it as a motto for the rest of my living
And I know that it's too late, and I'm just speaking to your grave
Unless for some reason you can hear what I can say
I regret not being able to say this face to face
But I won't forget you Nick, and for everything, thanks

(Sample Chorus)
If this is to end in fire
Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high
Into the night
Calling out father, oh
Stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountainside
Ah~

(Verse 2)
You ever wonder what it'd be like if we took hands and ran away
Drove off into the sunset and lived life until we passed away?
I'd often think of it every time we'd pass this phase
But it comes with a cost, and it's one that I have to pay
I don't know if it's my timing, or I'm just not what you need
Or if I'm walking in silence, can't hear you calling to me
But the paradox I'm in is that I'm taught to be free
And somehow that'll bring the women than I'm dying to meet
It's a fine line that I'm on, and I find it exhausting
I'm becoming apathetic and I'm afraid of its constance
I let one girl slip, and drove another one walking
But the thing I never failed, was to be open and honest
So I guess what I'm doing, is I'm hoping this reaches
All the women I needed, cause as I'm writing this evening
I'm hoping this verse can bring my life to completion
By bringing closure to these open-ended threads cause I need this

(Sample Chorus)
If this is to end in fire
Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high
Into the night
Calling out father, oh
Stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountainside
Ah~

(Verse 3)
Now I understand that by sitting here and venting
Does little to nothing, to fix my problems, or mend them
I've been told to be selfish, to take charge and forget her
But that goes against my values, that should be known without mention
I'm just in a situation where I'm dying to find solace
There was no time I was writing when my mind wasn't boggled
I'm needing the type of answers you don't find in a bottle
Cause I tried it and I thought it's time I starting righting what's awful
Started writing these songs, as a way to escape
It took a life of its own, and I was thinking it's great
Cause I could sit here and write, and people relate to my pain
So I'd exaggerate my days, but I got carried away
And it wasn't 'fore long that the monster came to surface
It dampened my perception of life, and it was worthless
To try to think otherwise, but this storm isn't perfect
So now I'm focused on this new light that I now see emerging

(Sample Chorus)
If this is to end in fire
Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high
Into the night
Calling out father, oh
Stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountainside
Ah~
