Here I go again And I'm afraid it's worse than it's been I can't lie to you But I've been trying to And I might go through with it Cause I'm sick of wanting to die Every single time the stress hits Is this the real world? I sure don't hope so Cause if it goes on like this God, I don't know

5 am, concrete porch step Barely morning, I'm adoring your new sundress Your face glistens in the light of a new day Your eyes hint at what your mouth can not say Your cues I'll take, non-verbally Follow me and close the door behind you It's only us now But we wake And wonder will this last Your move-in date is approaching Way to fast And it feels like the foundation has been pulled out from underneath Oh what will I do with you that far from me? I've had my doubts don't we all Looks like my gut is never wrong It's best I just move on But it's so hard

We've been disconnecting since move in day And I wish that I could say Things aren't beyond repair and we'll be okay But since you left nothing has been the same 3 years Takes its toll on me I can't be everything I know you need I'm not taking this lightly But I can't help you when no ones helping me Cause I've been doing worse than I could ever show My friends don't even know So I need time to be alone Be happy on my own I need my time to wise up and let go 3 years Takes its toll on me I need to step away from everything I'm not taking this lightly But I can't help you when no ones helping me Grab your keys Get on the turnpike I'll see you on the other side

Guilt makes a drive feel twice as long One swift motion could end it all But I'm just not that strong So I'll go do What I don't want to God knows it'll hurt me almost as bad as it'll hurt you To be honest It's for the best If not, I can handle it Cause I've felt alone for so long So there'd be nothing new I've been longing to start over What else can I do So in the stairwell I broke your heart And I couldn't falter as Our two hands came apart We were crying As you asked me "Were the 3 years and the memories all for nothing?" And those words they fucking haunt me Til I can't eat or sleep Cause it's still so fresh in my head I guess I need my space I don't know what I'm looking for But I can wait It's not supposed to be easy I can tell it won't be Remember who's choice this was And don't you dare play victim When the pain comes Cause it's bound to Keep you up and eat at you It's bound to make you think bad things when you've had a few I tried to do what I thought was right With both of us in mind I didn't find what I was looking for Maybe in time

about

There's been a lot of changes in my life over the past few months. The week before I recorded the vocals, we had a completely different record lyrically. Some things can change so quickly, when you least expect it. However, I think that's where this EP came from- honesty in the moment. In that week before I recorded vocals, I re-wrote 75% of the lyrics because the original ones were no longer relevant to my life. The past few months have been hard but this band and this EP have kept me going. I hope these songs speak to you in some way. I hope they help you as much as they've helped me.
