For A Friend
[Verse 1: George Pettit]
I think that it's time to get out
My patience is fading fast
The mind bruises just a little bit easier
In dark times and shadows cast

[Pre-Chorus: Dallas Green]
What are you suffering for?
Your pride or some kind of personal war?
And will you throw it away?
For nothing more than a simple taste?

[Chorus]
I'll stay in time and watch you pass by
Paranoia woven deep beneath my skin
I draw this line and hope you'll take my side
Breathe slow, breathe slow
You shouldn't have to fight alone
You shouldn't have to fight at all
It's nobody's battle but your own

[Verse 2: George Pettit]
Panic holds me like a gun
Firm and steadfast bleak and cold
I think it's time to kill the drama
This lifestyle's getting old
[Verse 3: George Pettit]
Whispers behind closed doors
Eyes spy from dark windows
Plotting minds seek to harm me
Or maybe not, I don't really know

There is something waiting for me
In the darkest part of my imagination

[Chorus]

[Verse 4: George Pettit]
This is just self-induced terror
There's more to come, this is just a glimpse
I tell myself it's all in my head
But I'm pretty hard to convince

[Bridge: George Pettit]
Oh, there's no relief
Oh, this world can offer
Oh, there's no relief
Oh, this world can offer me

[Outro: Dallas Green]
I'll stay in time and watch you pass by
I draw this line and hope you'll take my side
You shouldn't have to fight alone
It's nobody's battle but your own
