Goodnight, Goodbye
(Written By: Audrey Spillman)

There was poison in your words
Trying hard to disturb
The feelings that I kept
Only you would know their depth

Sun will surely fade
On more than just this day
And we will have to hide
In shadows that we find

Chorus:
Before we say goodnight
Before we say goodbye
Give me one more try
One more try
Before the blood runs thin
On what could have been
Give me one more try
I swear that I can change your mind

When the truth came out
There were thieves around
Looking for a sign
To frame your heart to mine

I could not break free
They could clearly see
What I would not deny
You covered up with lies

Chorus:
Before we say goodnight
Before we say goodbye
Give me one more try
One more try
Before the blood runs thin
On what could have been
Give me one more try
I swear that I can change your mind

Bridge

Chorus:
Before we say goodnight
Before we say goodbye
Give me one more try
One more try
Before the blood runs thin
On what could have been
Give me one more try
I swear that I can change your mind

Hot As Hell
(Written By: Audrey Spillman & Neilson Hubbard)

I won’t recover
From the heat of summer  
When I watched you walk away

No expression
No hint or mention
If it would ever be the same

Chorus:
We were hot as hell
That was all I felt
Til it turned cold

We were tangled tight
Wrapped up in the light
Til it turned cold

I still can feel it
Every inch
So real its
Settled in my skin

The touch, the taste
The salt embrace
Slowly sinking in

Instru.

Chorus:
We were hot as hell
That was all I felt
Til it turned cold

We were tangled tight
Wrapped up in the light
Til it turned cold

Rising Up
(Written by: Audrey Spillman)

Dirty green being passed around
Changing faces in the crowd
Lies turn to dust
The sun turns to rust
Into the ground

Rumors are spreading round
He’s the one whose going to burn this town
To its flesh and bone
Rebuild it as his own

Chorus:

Go
Go and tell your fathers
Warn your sons and daughters
Troubles rising up
Troubles Rising Up
Ohh
Ohh the pain that follows
Going to leave you hollow
Troubles rising up
Troubles rising up

They say he doesn’t have a heart
Because it’s made with broken parts
Through the fiery red
The words that he said
Coming out

Chorus:

Go
Go and tell your fathers
Warn your sons and daughters
Troubles rising up
Troubles Rising Up
Ohh
Ohh the pain that follows
Going to leave you hollow
Troubles rising up
Troubles rising up

Bridge Instrumental

Chorus:

Go
Go and tell your fathers
Warn your sons and daughters
Troubles rising up
Troubles Rising Up
Ohh
Ohh the pain that follows
Going to leave you hollow
Troubles rising up
Troubles rising up

 Amy
 (Written By: Audrey Spillman & Neilson Hubbard)

Don’t wanna wait
Not another day
  Not another night
Don’t you hesitate
I need you now

Right next to me
No space between
Skin on my skin
Touching everything
I need you now

Chorus:
Tell me that you want it right now it's all or nothing baby
 Fill me with desire
Burn me up like fire baby
No I ain’t fooling around

Let me ease you back
You can just relax
 I'll take the lead  
 Right where we're at
I need you now

Bridge

Chorus:
Tell me that you want it right now it's all or nothing baby
 Fill me with desire
Burn me up like fire baby
No I ain’t fooling around

Don’t wanna wait
Not another day
  Not another night
Don’t you hesitate
I need you now

If You Leave Me
(Written By: Neilson Hubbard, Audrey Spillman, Robby Hecht)

Got your suitcase
All your records
And your empty threats

Packed them for you
 In the front room
So you won’t forget

Pre:
I've waited for you long enough
To tell me what you want

Chorus
If you leave me
No I won’t Cry
No I won’t cry

If you leave me
No I won’t Cry
No I won’t cry

Every sign was there
Pointing no where
Probably should have looked

Always out of tune
Needle never moved
Since the day it stuck

And on and on we go
Spinning on our own

Chorus:
If you leave me
No I won’t Cry
No I won’t cry

If you leave me
No I won’t Cry
No I won’t cry

Instr.

Chorus
If you leave me
No I won’t Cry
No I won’t cry

If you leave me
No I won’t Cry
No I won’t cry

Pull Me Into Your Harbor
(Written By: Neilson Hubbard & Audrey Spillman)

Lit the fire
From your stare
With a desire
Never knew was there

All of your light and your darkness
I want know all the parts of them
Pull me into your harbor
And I won’t leave it

Fell completely into your hands
And from that moment I could understand

You say the words to my story
Like nobody’s ever known me
So pull me into your harbor
I won’t leave it

Ohh ohh ohh
I’ll leave it
Ohh ohh ohh
I’ll leave it
Ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh
ohh ohh

Rip the chord out
And let it all unwind
There’s no ending to what we’ll find

Everything pure and haunted
I’ll give you more than you wanted
Pull me into your harbor
And I won’t leave it

Ohh ohh ohh
I’ll leave it
Ohh ohh ohh
I’ll leave it
Ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh
ohh ohh

Lit the fire
From your stare

I’ve Got To Have You
(Written By: Kris Kristofferson)

You came smilin' softly, shyly movin'
Easy as a dreamer into my world
And before I realized the danger
I found myself staring into your eyes
Somewhere in their colors I saw promises
Of things I'd never seen before
It's all over
I've got to have you

Holding onto, talking, saying nothing
Knowing in a moment I could lose you
Then without a warning I remembered that
You trembled at the touch of my hand
Knowing when you came to me that no one else
Would ever feel the same in my arms
It's all over
I've got to have you

Wakin' in the morning to the tenderness
Of holding you asleep in my arms
Dreaming while my hair was blowing
Softer than a whisper on my cheek
I don't know the feeling so I don't know if it's love
But it's enough
It's enough
I can't help it
I've got to have you
It's all over
I've got to have you

Thornbird
(Written by: Audrey Spillman)

Thornbird you've been looking to the sky
He had other plans
To make you stay a while

His words tried to tangle
Mangle your wings
Hoping you'd forget
How it feels to be free

Chorus:

How you fly
So high
Beyond the cage of his hand

As hard as he'll try
You know better this time
Than to fall back into it again

Yesterday
He was trying to make you sing
But you turned from his touch
And you flew through the trees

Chorus:

How you fly
So high
Beyond the cage of his hand

As hard as he'll try
You know better this time
Than to fall back into it again

Instr.

Chorus:

How you fly
So high
Beyond the cage of his hand

As hard as he'll try
You know better this time
Than to fall back into it again

Don't Make Me Walk Through This World On My Own
(Written By: Neilson Hubbard & Alex Wong)

Make me a picture
To have and to hold
Make me believe
Even when you don’t

Make me liar
Inside of my home
Just don’t make me walk through this world on my own

Make me child
And give me that spark
Make me afraid of the cold and the dark

Make me a garden
With seeds that you sow
Just don’t make me walk through this world on my own

Chorus:

Back to St. Louis
With things that we left behind
I never knew it
But I’ll get it right this time

Make me a tiger
I’ll growl and I’ll grow
Just don’t make me walk through this world on my own

Instru.

Chorus:

Back to St. Louis
With things that we left behind
I never knew it
But I’ll get it right this time

Make me liar
Inside of my home
Just don’t make me walk through this world on my own
Don’t make me walk through this world on my own

Wreck Me
(Written By: Neilson Hubbard & Audrey Spillman)

Throw yourself into this shadow
All you want is all that matters
Let the hesitation melt away

Crimson with the heat of fire
Pull me into that dark desire
One touch is all that it would take

Chorus:

Wreck me
Come on and Wreck me
Come on, Wreck Me
Come on, Wreck Me

Blood stirring in my cells
Deepest part of the deepest well
Drink me up so you can get a taste

Shivering from a fevers kiss
Can’t stop and I can’t resist
The last wall is just about to break

Chorus:

Wreck me
Come on and Wreck me
Come on, Wreck Me
Come on, Wreck Me

Come on
Come on
Come on
Wreck Me

Come on
Come on
Come on
Wreck Me

Chorus:

Wreck me
Come on and Wreck me
Come on, Wreck Me
Come on, Wreck Me

Easy

(Written By: K.S. Rhoads and Audrey Spillman)
 

Honey I know you’re leaving
Honey I know you’re done
You won’t slip out the back door
I won’t let you run

Chorus:

Don’t Let me go
Let me go
Don’t Let me go easy

Don’t Let me go
Don’t Let me go
Don’t play this down
Drive a knife through my shirt
Twist it and make it hurt
Don’t let me go easy

Tell me that you love another
Say I’m not good enough
If we really loved each other
This shit better get rough

Chorus:

Don’t Let me go
Let me go
Don’t Let me go easy

Don’t Let me go
Don’t Let me go
Don’t play around
Kick me out and shove me
Say you never loved me
Don’t let me go easy

Chorus:
Don’t Let me go
Let me go
Don’t Let me go easy

Don’t Let me go
Let me go
Don’t play this down
How will I ever learn
If you don’t make it burn
Don’t let me go easy

End of The World

(Written By: Arthur Kent & Sylvia Dee)

Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me any more

Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does

Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye

Instrumental

Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye
