"We decided that it would be a good idea to use a different lineup and hopefully avoid a lot of the confusion created around the first record. At the same time, we didn't want to give the impression that we were forming a new 'band' that would be touring/recording beyond this current record. With that in mind, I thought it might be an interesting idea to have a few different rhythm sections across the record, to give things a different feel and sound under the familiar top layer of vocals and guitars by John and I." This lineup comprises both present and former Fates Warning drummers and bassists - Joey Vera, Bobby Jarzombek, Joe Dibiase and Mark Zonder - plus other noted musicians, such as the legendary Steve Di Giorgio (Death, Testament, Charred Walls Of The Damned), Cynic's Sean Malone, and renowned drummer Thomas Lang.

"Straight and Narrow" lyrics:
I’ve got a death wish and the throttle down
Dragon’s tail I’m coming ‘round
Blind curves of my life
Lined with roadside crosses
A mirage coming off the road
She’s dangerous I’m told
She’ll catch your eye and it’s a long way down

Catch her if you dare
Oh she is everywhere
She left me in a slow burn
When will I ever learn?

Chasing vermilion moons over lost horizons
Almost dawn, running hot with white line fever
On a wing and a prayer, and a dare we’ll make it there
Dead or alive we will never surrender

Catch her if you dare
Oh she is everywhere
She left me in a slow burn
When will I ever learn?

For the life of me
For the life of me, please tell me
Why I run from love, I run from sorrow
Run from yesterday and from tomorrow
For the life of me
This winding road turns like a broken arrow
You and I like the raptor chase the sparrow
We could never fly the straight and narrow

And she said I’ll be your light and I’ll be the rain
I’ll be the one to make you feel love again
And I’m gonna make you bleed
I’ll give you all you need to heal again
While you contemplate the cosmos
I will surround you, I’ll hold you down
To the here and the now
I will tear down your facades, I’ll silence your gods
If you come to me I will love you forever

For the life of me
For the life of me, please tell me
Why I run from love, I run from sorrow
Run from yesterday and from tomorrow
For the life of me
This winding road turns like a broken arrow
My old man, bless his soul, always said
If you want to live son you better fly the straight and narrow

I could never fly the straight and narrow
No matter how I try I could never fly the straight and narrow
