Great Deceivers Lyrics
"Retreat"

Blurry beyond belief
Offense on the retreat
But kiddo, swing for the trees
The final fight can't be clean
Don't lose that hold
The ground we gained in bitter cold
Give up the ghost
All that remains
Call off the dogs
There's no response
Give chase until you slip the bonds
The marble vow recited on an altar of our slaughtered song
How'd you ever let go
Of the trouble you hold onto?
Poison reminder that you taste but still swallow
And it goes down like easy tiger
Tame until the shallow rolls over the stronghold
So don't fight 'cause you can't win
Glue the petals to the rose
Easy tiger, you're retreating as you roam
