Refuse/Walk 03:06
Walk the way you want to walk, ball your fist with hate Talk the words you choose to speak Rip the stitch they sewed in you Rip the stitch they have sewed Surrounded but so alone Use the fear they have made Don't stay calm, use your fear Rip the stitch they have sewed Rip the stitch Surrounded but cold I stand hollow Never felt nothing besides the cold Never felt nothing besides hollow Never let no motherfucker tell me when to move Surrounded again I am so cold Surrounded again I am so hollow

Heavy Work 02:50
I dream that you're drowning That love never finds you That your skin and bones are ravaged by the wolves Love can't find me Just disease This plague has found me I can't breathe I was never enough This plague is heavy again Working its way to my spine You casted your stones so I'll bury your bones Keep you out of my mind I've locked myself for eternity but it's I who holds the key You've had your grip for eternity but it's I who holds the key Heavy work Accept my twist of fate Push the weight Until my dying day I was never enough This plague is heavy again Only the wicked deserve this You casted your stones So I'll bury your bones As the weight crushes down on you Reality is that I'll struggle forever Until my days are through Until I'm six feet under Give me that peace Please do that for me Grant me no light As the weight crushes down on me Heavy work until my days are through Heavy work til I'm through With the work on my back And the rest on my soul I push the weight of reality Until I'm six feet underground

Self-made demons creating chaos Deep in the trenches With no hope, no strength to dig I against I, a war against me A tortured soul not meant to be free Scratching at the scars the world has left Life's a joke and everything's a test Heavy work 'Cause behind every door lies another demon And behind every demon lies a brick fucking wall I'm just a toutued soul I suffer all alone Mouth sewn shut Blood in my lungs Still I suffer all alone Suffer now, suffer later War is now, peace is never Peace is never

Drop Back 02:24
Drop back, don't wanna hear it Shut your mouth or swallow your teeth Drop back, don't wanna hear it The coward dies one thousand times A coward's what you are It's what you've always been Hiding in the shadows Shedding your skin Walking a line that's nowhere near straight One of these days man, you will hang One of these days You will hang Drop back, don't wanna hear it Shut your mouth or swallow your teeth Drop back, don't wanna hear it The coward dies one thousand times The coward dies one thousand times Deep in the shadows, a coward's revealed by the emprise of man The skin has been shed, the torch has been lit to reveal your true face
