The final song, 'Bullet Biter' captures personal hardships I've experienced. Bite the bullet, learn, and move forward.
lyrics
I’ve cheated death, bruised and bent
Clung to air as I lost my breath
Beat down, almost drowned
Watched my house burn to the ground
Lost control, knife pulled
Had my teeth knocked down my throat
Heart ripped, abandoned ship
Been the cause of blood and tears to drip
I won’t let it get me down
Can’t dwell on what makes you frown
What you put out you’ll get in return
Keep moving, can’t be concerned
I’m the bullet biter
We are resilient
I’ve stared right at the monster in me
The one I never wanted to be
Temper rubbed off and turned to rage
Gotta step back and see what needs change
Slow right down to a calming pace
Rest my eyes, but that’s not safe
Night terrors consume me as I dream
Wake up in a panic, can’t escape just scream
You gotta pick it up
Pick up what I’m dropping
100% purest truths what I’m chopping
You gotta pick it up
