Eject 03:07
Spiraling down Like a fireball outta the sky This is goin pretty bad Guess you just gotta decide It’s like “Stay here strapped in and die” Or “give up without tryin” Whatever man, I just think it’s time To eject, to eject, to eject (I just think it's time) To eject, to eject, to eject That boss man’ll be pissed At least you know something for sure Does it really matter though There’s no way you could want out more It’s like “is this all for you?” Or is it just more of you for them? Just push the button and wait (wait) To eject, to eject, to eject (and wait) To eject, to eject, to eject! Now a rocket’s pushin your seat And it’s air under your feet The wreck’s already gone Can’t remember what was wrong Or how anything could be that way When you’re up here I don’t know anything that could be bad When you’re up here And I’m not fallin down No I’m not fallin down Oh I can see the ground But I’m not fallin down I’m not fallin down No I’m not fallin down Oh I can see the ground But I’m not fallin down Oh no

Brainstorm 03:38
Dreams never seem as sweet As when they’re outta reach (Oh oh oh oh oh ohohoh) But when never turns into maybe It kinda feels like a tease (Ah ah ah ah ah ahahahah) But if I Just had a little time I think that maybe I Could sort everything out But then again I Know that’s probably a lie I just hope whatever’s the matter Can wait a little while It’s always up and down All the time My insides never make up their mind (Oh oh oh oh oh ohohoh) When your first shot’s the only shot It all just kinda feels like a grind (Ah ah ah ah ahahahah) But if I Just had a little time I think that maybe I Could sort everything out But then again I Know that’s probably a lie I just hope whatever’s the matter Can wait a little while Cause everything’ll get real And everything’ll get realer Everything’ll get real And everything’ll get realer Everything’ll get real And everything’ll get realer Everything oh everything oh Ohwoah ohwoah

Somehow 03:17
Never really liked that Feeling when you wake up Already tired enough To go back to bed You know I only write These goofy songs To keep my head Away from itself and To have something to show for all the Time spent by myself All the puzzle pieces fit now But if they hadn’t somehow Oh if they hadn’t somehow And as much as I hate to admit it I know deep down there’s A part of me that wanted this Cause at least I’m done Being the thorn that’s Stuck in your foot All the goddamn time Now there’s no one left to blame For yourself All the puzzle pieces fit now But if they hadn’t somehow But if they hadn’t somehow And I just wish you would have told me We were just pretending when we Wrote those stupid letters full of all those things I thought you meant And I just wish I could have known you Any other time than I did Maybe then I’d have kept it all in context

Own 03:27
Look at you and me All scaly and green Stepping over skyscrapers like rocks Crawling through the sea Stretching out like trees Tentacles all tangled as we go So I dunno why but now I can't sleep at night Cause every time I close my eyes I see Somebody stealing all my old memories And now I know I'll never get another like you But don't get me wrong, really, that's a good thing I hope I never do At least I count for something on my own And that's more than you could say in your life But now it's like my eyes are always stuck in a squint from all the time spent looking at you trying to see what I wanted instead of what I got And now I dunno if I'm being perfectly clear But just so you understand you were nothing more than lies I told myself and sloppy priorities You know at least I count for something on my own And that's more than you could say in your life So now you feel like bailing well, go on then, go on then I'm more than done with wasting my time So go ahead and chase whatever whim you think will fill the void Define yourself with whoever you can get to kiss your ass Fake a personality with shit you stole from your T.V. Important part is I got out So I guess good luck with that

Storm clouds are always what they seem Never truly scared, just tryin to see But when the rain’s coming down I wouldn’t really know the difference When I said we’d go running I just, I kinda always thought that you were coming But now… I got no room for empathy I know I won’t win this with sympathy And movin on has to be pretty nice When you got the next one already lined up When I said we’d go running I just, I kinda always thought that you were coming But now… Now… (repeat chorus) (ok) So you say you feel bad but I feel worse Since I been alone here it’s nothing but hurt An’ I can’t stand to have you around as a friend Same way I don’t wanna play with my dog when it’s dead But it’s like living with a phantom limb Cause I feel you there, always under my skin I just really wish I knew how all this worked How many strained metaphors and clichéd Words it’ll take until I’m sick of caring And you can just be someone that I knew But it’s cool cause I never really cared I mean the whole thing’s just whatever Oh I can lie too see You make it look so easy when You’re feeding me these see-through lines I just wish that I could believe But I can smell em’ rotting in your mouth from here

about

This is an EP I made to raise money for a full length. It's pay-what-you-like but there is no minimum (so yes, you can just put zero).
