Story Behind The Song
Emotions can be hard to bear. There are many layers to how they express themselves. Cannonball is about their explosive nature and how we do have ways to heal. Being female in a man's genre I had to find a way to make that known in a more 'subtle' way.

Lyrics
Cannonball
Verse 1:
Reverie
Silence please
Lost in a wandering pool of defeat Shrink to dismay
Effortless play
Sift through the chaos it's just disarray
Chorus:
Emotional cannonball, Want it all,
Free for all
Verse 2:
Paranoid
Can't avoid
Seeing me clearly and what I've destroyed Scorching with fuel
Tortured and cruel
Sitting alone letting delusion rule
Bridge:
Divinity
Is simplicity Reality Everything's free
