Shake the Fire

I see you breathe in and outI watch you breathe in and out
I saw you sleepI watched you sleep
Now I can't keep it togetherNow I can't compose myself
Tears, they fall out of my controlTears, they fall out of my control
Oh, no, noOh, no, no
Time to goTime to go
Oh, I know his back is weak and falling apartOh, I know his spine is weak and crumbling
And all we've learned is how it keeps on turning, ohAnd all we've come to know is how it keeps on turning, oh

We can't stir the fireWe can't shake the fire
We can't halt the rainWe can't stop the rain
Running around in circles in the midst of the confusionRunning around in circles in the thick of the haze
We can't stir the fireWe can't shake the fire
We can't stop the painWe can't stop the pain
Trying to find solace in the midst of the confusionTrying to find comfort in the thick of the haze

I saw your light slip through my fingersI watched your light slip through my hands
Over and over againOver and over again
It never hurt like thisIt never hurt like this
Oh, I know his back is weak and falling apartOh, I know his spine is weak and crumbling
And all we've learned is how it keeps on turning, ohAnd all we've come to know is how it keeps on turning, oh

We can't stir the fireWe can't shake the fire
We can't halt the rainWe can't stop the rain
Running around in circles in the midst of the confusionRunning around in circles in the thick of the haze
We can't stir the fireWe can't shake the fire
We can't stop the painWe can't stop the pain
Trying to find solace in the midst of the confusionTrying to find comfort in the thick of the haze

Midst of the confusionThick of the haze
Midst of the confusionThick of the haze
(Midst of the confusion)(Thick of the haze)

Oh, my love, close your eyesOh, my love, close your eyes
Go softly into that sweet nightGo softly into that sweet night

We can't stir the fireWe can't shake the fire
We can't halt the rainWe can't stop the rain
Running around in circles in the midst of the confusionRunning around in circles in the thick of the haze
We can't stir the fireWe can't shake the fire
We can't stop the painWe can't stop the pain
Trying to find solace in the midst of the confusionTrying to find comfort in the thick of the haze

We can't stir the fireWe can't shake the fire
We can't halt the rainWe can't stop the rain
Running around in circles in the midst of the confusionRunning around in circles in the thick of the haze
We can't stir the fireWe can't shake the fire
We can't stop the painWe can't stop the pain
Trying to find solace in the midst of the confusionTrying to find comfort in the thick of the haze
