“Born Resilient”
Verse 1
The hammer hits hard but the nails can take a beatin’
The more hits they take the further they are driven
Oh what an analogy
Life is a ball-peen and we’re a handful of ten-pennies
Chorus
We aren’t born resilient
But we’re gonna learn to be
Everyone takes some punishment
The world takes you over it’s knee
We aren’t born resilient
We’ve built an immunity
We’re rolling with the punches
I can take anything you throw at me
Verse 2
We don’t play the hand we’re dealt we play what’s up our sleeves
The house ain’t winning tonight
Tell the dealer I play for keeps
Oh baby you can bet on me
I don’t care if the odds are stacked against us eternally
Chorus
Bridge
I’m not saying we’re strong
I’m saying we’re numb
We’re accustomed to suffering
Come on and give me some
We’re way past the point
Of sadness or fear
Is that all you’ve got?
Bring that burden here
Lay it on me
I can take it
I’m a glutton
I’m a sadist
Chorus

"Black Black Blood"
Verse 1
Nothing good ever happens after midnight
While the weary are resting the wicked are taking lives
The darkness conceals them as they make their moves
Some have a motive, some do what the voices tell them to
Chorus
Black black blood in the white moonlight
Black black blood
Black black blood in the white moonlight
Black black blood
Maybe you deserved it
Maybe you’re just unlucky, son
Black black blood in the white moonlight
Black black blood
Verse 2
After hours hell let’s the devils out to play
You can lock your doors, but your home is no longer safe
They’re here for one reason and that reason is you
They’ll pull your beating heart from your chest like they’ve got something to prove

“Natural Disaster”
Verse 1
Your body moves like mating snakes
I’m hard pressed to look away
You’re in your own little world
Such dangerous beauty
She might be an illusion
She might be a ghost
Chorus
My defenses are useless against her
She is a natural disaster
Verse 2
My pulse pounds out a rhythm
She dances to the sound
Your movement gives me vertigo
The room spins with you
She might be a spirit
She might be a dream

“Having A Breakdown”
Verse 1
I can’t stop pacing and I’m anxious as hell
Something just ain’t right
I’m having nightmares that don’t end when I wake
This is my life
I don’t know where I am or how I got here
I have no concept of time
There’s a shadow that’s been following me
But it isn’t mine
Chorus
I think I’m having a breakdown
Can’t shake the feeling that someone is after me
I think I’m having a breakdown
I’ve lost my mind and I don’t think I’ll find it this time
Verse 2
They’re out to get me and they’re closing in
I feel them circling
I can’t trust anyone including myself
What have they done to me?
I’m lashing out at the ones I love
I’ve been betrayed
I’ve got no place to go so I just run
And hope I get away
Chorus
Bridge
I was fooled into believing it would be alright
Tricked into thinking I would make it out alive
My heart is tired and I can’t even rest in my laurels
There is no sanctuary
Don’t think I’m gonna make it
I don’t know what’s going on
Chorus

“Scoundrel”
Verse 1
To say we didn’t know better would be a lie
We knew just what we were doing last night
And we’ve got no regrets
We can’t say what we might do next, but we know what we should
We’re already guilty of so many things
Chorus
It’s hard to play it straight when you’ve been crooked for so long
I don’t wanna change cause changing for the better just feels wrong
I play with fire like an arsonist
That’s how I was raised
Ima be scoundrel for the rest of my days
Verse 2
What difference will it make if we’re upstanding now
It’s a little late in the game for being proud
There no coming back from this
We had so many chances to absolve ourselves
Let’s just keep the pedal down
Chorus
Bridge
Verse 3
We’re up all hours howling curses at the sky
There’s no sleeping when your bed is on fire
The last thing she said was, “I don’t recognize you”
I never claimed to be anyone else

"Chorus of Persuasion"
Verse 1
I held hands with temptation
I grew obsessed with her singing
She sang a catchy tune
It ran circles inside my head
She roped me in
I was enamored
I was helpless to sing along
I carried her tune
She held me hostage and that was fine by me
Chorus
The overwhelming allure disguised itself as a song and found it's way in
Seduction is a sound that hides inside a verse and a chorus of persuasion
Verse 2
Her song never leaves me
It's driving me to madness
What once was beautiful has become more than I can bear
Her melody has made itself at home deep inside my brain
A constant echo
Repeating forever
Until all that's left is noise
Chorus
Bridge
I try to drown her out but she just keeps singing louder

The Worst Parts of You”
Verse 1
My name is Distance
I am the space that separates
It’s said I make the heart grow fonder but more often I’m what causes it to break
I am the voice that tells you “you should push them further off”
I am the silent loneliness that pushing them away has brought
Chorus
I am the worst parts of you
Verse 2
My name is Desperation
I keep you awake at night
Causing you to do in darkness what you would never have dreamt in the light
I am the voice that tells you “nothing will be ok”
I am the doubt and the worry that never seems to go away
Chorus
Bridge
You need me
I make you whole
I am you
More than even you know
Verse 3
My name is Consequences
I have crept up on you
You like to pretend you never saw me coming but we both know that isn’t true
Chorus

"Willful Ignorance"
Verse 1
He burns bridges like cigarettes
A pack at a time
But now he's all out of matches asking, "Has anyone got a light?"
He's got no leg to stand on so he's gonna have to crawl
He's not offering an apology 'cause he has no regrets at all
Chorus
You've got a reputation of recklessness
Call it a penchant for willful ignorance
No one will miss you when you're gone
You've been setting yourself back since day one
Verse 2
He's made a habit of personal attacks
He's on the run and he can't ever go back
He cuts off ties with a wink and a smile, 'cause honey you know that's his style
What he lacks in subtlety he makes up for with hindsight
He's got exclusively bad intentions, but his bark is worse than his bite
Chorus
Bridge
You think no one understands
Like no one's been there before
Your showing dominance
I'm showing you the door
Verse 3
He has nothing left to live for
His mind is a wound
He did this to himself
He has no on left to turn to
He's been carving away at his self-worth for years
Now he's crying himself a river
Let him drown in his own fucking tears
No one will miss you when you're gone
You've been setting yourself back since day one

“Farewell For Now”
Verse 1
An ode to everyone I’ve left behind
We took our best shot but our aim was off
That’s life
Moving on
Don’t take it to heart, don’t place blame
There’s a time for everything including endings
Chorus
Farewell For Now
Maybe forever
I’ll say goodbye instead of I’ll see you later
Verse 2
We had our fun but that time is over
I can not recall the last time you laughed
So it goes
Time and again
This is no ones fault, it was destined
People grow apart, it’s only natural
Chorus
Bridge
I can still feel the fingers of the last hand I held
They’re cold and barely gripping mine
Chorus
