Track Name: Retreat
I remember the night
Your eyes went cold and dead.
I killed the woman I was
So I could keep you instead.

When the chips are down
The coward shows his hand,
And the Game of Life
Can not go quite as planned.

Retreat, retreat...
Raise a white flag high.
Retreat from this war you've chosen
To wage between you and I.

I remember the fight -
I begged you not to go,
My loving tears rejected,
Your choice a heavy blow.

When the storm had passed,
The damage still remained,
And the love we'd shared
Forevermore was strained.

Retreat, retreat...
Raise a white flag high.
Retreat from this war you've chosen
To wage between you and I.

I know a man's gotta do
What a man's gotta do
But you chose our destruction
And I only chose you.

Retreat, retreat...
Raise a white flag high.
Retreat from this war you've chosen
To wage between you and I.

Between you and I
Between you and I
Track Name: Hello, Old Friend
Hello, old friend...
Looks like we're
On our own again.
Constant companion...
The twisted knot
Has been undone.

The mirror says we're older...
Little lines around the eyes.
Has the world grown colder
Amidst its muffled cries?

I will cry tears of joy from now on.

Hello, old friend...
It's good to
See your face again.
Patient protector...
Your dreams I'll
No longer defer.

This body says we're thinner,
That stress has taken toll.
Has my mind just barely grasped
The need to feel full?

My soul will feast on life from now on.

Hello, old friend...
I'm so relieved
We've met again.
Most-honest conscience...
You chose the
Right side of the fence.

Hello, old friend
Hello, old friend
Hello, old friend
Track Name: Dismembered
I imploded slowly, barely noticed
As I shattered inward.
I dismembered sadly, lovely breakdown
As I crumpled up.

Sweetest of the bitter
Stillest in the flitter
Silken wings caress my face,
Then flee the scene without a trace.

Gone...is the pretense of control -
I never had it
Gone...is the time we somehow stole -
It slipped from our grip,
It slipped from our grip at last.

I reacted slowly, barely noticed
As the world ended.
I dismembered numbly, grand indifference
As I crumpled up.

Tallest of the little
Strongest of the brittle
Velvet breeze encircles me,
Then whisks away the century.

Gone...is the pretense of control -
I never had it
Gone...is the time we somehow stole -
It slipped from our grip,
It slipped from our grip at last.

Gentle shores whisper my name,
And call me to the coast again,
Where satin seas will kiss my skin,
Then drown me in the tides within.

Gone...is the pretense of control -
I never had it
Gone...is the time we somehow stole -
It slipped from our grip,
It slipped from our grip at last.
Track Name: Drink Up
Ripe and ready
To be cut down from this tree.
Take from me
The sustenance that you need.

Hard core
Soft skin
The sweetest juice
Held within

Drink up
You need your strength
Drink up
Soon parched at length
For your journey is long and dry
Drink up, my dear...
Drink these tears I cry.

Hot and heady
I'll give you what I've got for free.
Take from me
All the sugar that you need.

Sly smile
Smart mouth
Taste the West
As you head South

Drink up
You need your strength
Drink up
Soon parched at length
For your journey is long and dry
Drink up, my dear...
Drink these tears I cry.

Golden flesh and honey taste
Promises to remain chaste
In the absence of love's touch
The drought will be strong
Drink up, my dear,
Before you're gone.

Drink up
You need your strength
Drink up
Soon parched at length
For your journey is long and dry
Drink up, my dear...
Drink these tears I cry.

Drink up
You need your strength
Drink up
Soon parched at length
For your journey is long and dry
Drink up, my dear...
Drink these tears I cry.

I cry
I cry
I cry
I cry
Track Name: For The Best
Words that I am not
Allowed to express
Stick like glass inside my throat.
Their deadly caress
Wears and tears at heart's affairs,
Saying less and less,

But I can never confess.
This message in
A bottle must drown
With all the rest.
It's for the best...
For the best.

Love that poisons me
Throughout this duress
Flows through veins that pump true blue
And don't digress.
Fears and tears as longing sears
To burn chest to chest,

But I can never confess.
This message in
A bottle must drown
With all the rest.
It's for the best...
For the best.

Yearning in a lonely bed
Passion flashing crimson red
Hunger starving to be fed,
Yet I must repress,

For I can never confess.
This message in
A bottle must drown,
For bleeding hearts never rest.
This message in
A bottle must drown
So it's never found.
It's for the best...
For the best.
Track Name: Friendly Fire
Emergency cigarette
In my green jewelry box
It grows stale,
Waiting for

The night when my
Reserves are tapped out
And I need something deadly to
Remind me I'm still alive

Oh, this friendly fire
I breathe smoke in lieu
Of kissing you
Oh, this friendly fire
Will burn out when you
Return to me

Electrical memory
In my red ember heart
It grows warm,
Pumping for

The night when I'll
Resolve to snuff out
And won't need something deadly to
Remind me I am still alive

Oh, this friendly fire
I breathe smoke in lieu
Of kissing you
Oh, this friendly fire
Will burn out when you
Return to me

True flame
Ignited me
Sparking all I'd thought had died
Love's glow
A phantom limb
Burning to exist again

Until then, I smolder missing you

Oh, this friendly fire
I breathe smoke in lieu
Of kissing you
Oh, this friendly fire
Will burn out when you
Return to me

Oh, this friendly fire
I must dream in lieu
Of kissing you
Oh, this friendly fire
Will rage on 'til you
Return to me

Return to me
Return to me
