Wolves 03:24
Run little lamb if you don't want to be consumed The wolves are out to getcha, your disguise is coming loose Think of something. Just keep running. If you hide amongst the trees just sway along with the leaves, so you don't get seen Run little lamb if you don't want to be abused The wolves are out to catch ya, and their tactics are meant to confuse Feel the rumble? Here comes trouble If you hide amongst the weeds lay low and try not to scream, wait for them to leave Run little lamb this life was never meant for you The wolves are just too hungry and you were bred to lose Cease all function. Lost the notion. If you hide behind the lies you can mask your scent for awhile Live in denial Live in denial Live in denial Live in denial

Be Happy 03:23
I smell it on your skin Can’t hide deceit you are wearing thin No more excuses I know where you’ve been You stupid fucking little whore… I never wanted you more Unkept. Unclean. Wear your filth, be happy Unfit. Unseen. Fragile eyes be happy I don’t know who you are An unknown entity with no regard Mind fuck to instigate and seek reward You greedy, selfish, bloated pig… You take more than you give Unkept. Unclean. Wear your filth, be happy Unfit. Unseen. Fragile eyes be happy Happy Unkept. Unclean. Wear your filth, be happy Unfit. Unseen. Fragile eyes be happy Happy Happy

Well Behaved 03:55
Too many years I found comfort in fear I wasted my life staying here with you And your version of the truth held me in place Because I’m well behaved I never learn from your many mistakes Do I exist? Am I only empty space Even still in the way. Please let me stay Because I’m well behaved Oh, tell me more lies I’m the gullible type Desperately seeking love I’m always surprised When I get left behind Every time I fall in love Oh, tell me more lies I’m the gullible type Desperately seeking love I’m always surprised When I get left behind Every time I fall in love I’m well behaved Well behaved Well behaved

Battle Line 02:47
Welcome back it’s been seven years There ain’t no vacancy here You gotta pay to play before someone else takes your place The rules have changed since you’ve been gone Can’t expect that you’ll win ‘em all So get back in line and let someone else decide your fate This world is strange No familiar face Something tells me we’ll never belong We’re two strangers dancing in the path of an incoming storm The battle line is drawn Sit me down I’ll let you explain How the difference of opinion leaves someone to blame Cause the truth can shatter the illusion behind your strength Speak your mind have no regrets If you wait too long there won’t be anyone left The overwhelming fear is intoxicating. This world is strange No familiar face Something tells me we’ll never belong We’re two strangers dancing in the path of an incoming storm The battle line is drawn This world is strange No familiar face Something tells me we’ll never belong We’re two strangers dancing in the path of an incoming storm The battle line is drawn Welcome back it’s been 7 years But there ain’t no vacancy here You gotta pay to play before someone else takes your place

Here's a tale about a girl with a troubled home She told me stories that shook me down to the bone She devised a plan to escape her daddy's needs She said, Are you the man that I need you to be The next day she had that cold hard look in her eye She brought me something that she knew her daddy would not like He tried to stop her as she stormed right through the door Raised the gun, then dropped the old man to the floor She looked at me with blood dripping from her face She said, We gotta leave. I can't stand the smell of this place She floored the gas as the tail lights faded black We ran away with no intention of looking back We ain't comin' back We settled down, then settled for something less Disguising actions with words that we never meant My stomach churned as she stormed right through the door Raised the gun, it went black before I hit the floor
