'''BLOODLINE'''
</div>

''(lyrics)''
<div style="text-align: left;"> Life is a blur
<div style="text-align: left;"> The Arkati laugh, we’re amateur
<div style="text-align: left;"> So we defer
<div style="text-align: left;"> Our love and our lives for favor

<div style="text-align: left;"> So time and again, we’re shattered and tattered
<div style="text-align: left;"> Drown sorrow in liquor
<div style="text-align: left;"> It’s quicker
<div style="text-align: left;"> And we’re sicker
<div style="text-align: left;"> But sane

''(chorus)''
<div style="text-align: left;"> Blood in my veins
<div style="text-align: left;"> My heart and my brain
<div style="text-align: left;"> No guilt, ‘cuz it stains
<div style="text-align: left;"> Despite all the pain
<div style="text-align: left;"> Yet here I remain
<div style="text-align: left;"> …yet here I remain

<div style="text-align: left;"> Once I believed in what I was told
<div style="text-align: left;"> To fit in the mold
<div style="text-align: left;"> Be part of the fold
<div style="text-align: left;"> But it felt so controlled

<div style="text-align: left;"> Fire in my blood, lost passion and ashen
<div style="text-align: left;"> Fueled it again with pride
<div style="text-align: left;"> I defied
<div style="text-align: left;"> And terrified
<div style="text-align: left;"> Like a hurricane

<div style="text-align: left;"> I left home for a time
<div style="text-align: left;"> Sailed, flew, walked and climbed
<div style="text-align: left;"> Then across the Spine
<div style="text-align: left;"> Whether fate or by design

<div style="text-align: left;"> Lifting my voice with story and rhyme
<div style="text-align: left;"> The bardic life – sublime
<div style="text-align: left;"> Fingers wrapped around some wine
<div style="text-align: left;"> …or champagne

''(chorus)''
<div style="text-align: left;"> Blood in my veins
<div style="text-align: left;"> My heart and my brain
<div style="text-align: left;"> No guilt, ‘cuz it stains
<div style="text-align: left;"> Despite all the pain
<div style="text-align: left;"> Yet here I remain
<div style="text-align: left;"> …yet here I remain

''(fast)''
<div style="text-align: left;"> I started to see
<div style="text-align: left;"> Eventually
<div style="text-align: left;"> Falsity and fallacy
<div style="text-align: left;"> Hard to trust entirely
<div style="text-align: left;"> All of my serenity
<div style="text-align: left;"> Bottled up with my mentality
<div style="text-align: left;"> Exploded exponentially
<div style="text-align: left;"> I reconsidered destiny
<div style="text-align: left;"> Embraced my devilry
<div style="text-align: left;"> Began my *own* melody

''(slow)''
<div style="text-align: left;"> People think that they know me
<div style="text-align: left;"> By color and category
<div style="text-align: left;"> Inflammatory or flattery
<div style="text-align: left;"> Listen well, that is key

<div style="text-align: left;"> Once you know my story
<div style="text-align: left;"> I rather the respect

<div style="text-align: left;"> …and the glory
