Supine 02:36
the proud the loud no pace no grace a guilter with no filter i refuse to embrace the meek the weak no spine supine a coward gets devoured when he's caught in a bind and i know that she's got it and i know that she's a one of a kind and i know that she'll spot it and we'll see that i can't make up my mind
2.
Defaulter 04:07
it's more than just bad luck i've held out for long enough i know us better than that second man inside my head it's to late it's all wrong i tried so hard it's too far gone if i hold back i'll come undone second man inside my head i own my fate and sell my grin to lose or win i'm stretched so thin i can't stand this cruel embrace i fight and fight but it twists my face reflection seen i've been replaced second man inside my head i own my fate and sell my grin to lose or win i'm stretched so thin
3.
Leverage 02:54
creature on my back he knows all i lack there's no going back feels just like a heart attack i know it's all caught up to me again i guess that it won't matter in the end it's all i've got
4.
Vigor 03:28
instead of fighting tooth and nail i jab from bended knees to those who've wronged and pruned me i thank repeatedly i throw my hopes against the wall just to see what sticks i'm still trying to decide which side of me works best the vigor is gone forgivness is devine and patience is a virtue but there are times when deep inside the boiling pot it burns you we've chewed and spit we've punched and kicked but look at all we've gained from it the vigor is gone
5.
Method Actor 05:15
you fought so hard to hold on to yourself our grip was slipping we hung off the shelf but there's nothing better than learning to fall why go down swinging for nothing at all you left me stranded afraid of myself fear almost took me and laid me to rest what did you expect you lived without regrets you blamed and you framed and you lost all self respect there's just no reason to worry at all you've been my captor trapped in your wall the days they grow shorter but longer with you my fists getting tighter bloody and bruised what did you expect you lived without regrets you blamed and you framed and you lost all self respect i wait for something that i know i'll never see something that i'll never be you got in my way i won't see what i could be
