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
