He comes around 'cause you love him madly And he leaves his heart outside the door He's gone again when you need him badly All you want is a little more He's twisted your heart out Your chest is aching; you can't even find your breath But what good is love when It's slowly dying a sad and painful death? So, come on, dear If you're not happy here You don't have to stay Embrace the love that's all around you And walk away I know he's told you he can't live without you But he leaves you there to live alone You can't have love when it's not open When you don't feel it in every bone So, come on, dear If you're not happy here You don't have to stay Embrace the love that's all around you And walk away So a shadow consumes you And light is deflected off your body and off your soul If he really cares for you He will let go of you and give you back the love he stole So, come on, dear If you're not happy here You don't have to stay Embrace the love that's all around you And walk away Written by Anthony Retka ©2023

If I could look at all the things I've left in the past Stack each brick that held any mass Ball up every pillow case That I cried into when I was out of place I would assemble my own empire I've seen my flag waving high Nearly in the sky Nearly in the way of my sight It's burnin' bright I burned my own empire down I couldn't see myself too clear Looked in the eyes of a broken mirror Nothin' came back at me Trippin' over everything I see I burned my own empire down I wonder how I will die I wonder if you'll cry Maybe you'll be gone as well Trippin' over everything we fell I burned my own empire down

I am lost It's a building in the forest I am lost Ever wanna die But you scared that your mama would cry It's peaceful like a building And you don't know why I've got tricks up my sleeve And wild web to weave In a place where I believe Everything is good Everything is good I'm alive It's a tightrope in the sky I'm a lie Ever wanna drink Cause it doesn't let you think It's peaceful like a line in the sky But I've got tricks up my sleeve And wild web to weave In a place where I believe Everything is good Everything is good I was in a dream And my ghost was there Near a river, some river unknown I looked into the dark I saw a single meadowlark And every chill escaped from every bone But I've got tricks up my sleeve And wild web to weave In a place where I believe Everything is good Everything is good Everyone is good Everyone is good Anthony Retka ©2023

I could give the world every piece of myself Clean up every shelf I would dust every corner I could bleed every apology Into a river that leads to the sea And turns to rain But that would be lonely The rain is always lonely And the sky is grey And the world is passing away Lonely, don't want to die lonely A child might be a gift to me *Written by Anthony Retka **Anthony Retka Music ©2023, all rights reserved
