All your information came at me so quickly so I couldn't understand any of the words that you thought were so clever. What's that got to do with me alone at a subway station or me alone hiding in basements, trying to avoid the fleeting sense that everyone was leaving. Everything you do is so dramatic it's not funny, no one's laughing. and you're so fucking sensitive it hurts me too but what's that got to do with me? absolutely nothing. so please don't tell me what they think about me. 'cause they don't care and I don't care until I'm lying on the floor. If everybody's been through this, could we please get it over with. 'cause right now no one fucking cares that I am walking out that door. 'cause there are cracks between the lines the type that don't fill up with time. walking to my car from your house never felt so short I can't find out my shaking hands or how to turn the wheel without hitting a tree. I wish I would fall asleep (because then you'd never see me again) but searching for red flags in rose tinted glasses it never worked for me Everything you do is so dramatic it's not funny, no one's laughing. and you're so fucking sensitive it hurts me too but what's that got to do with me? absolutely nothing. so please don't tell me what they think about me. 'cause they don't care and I don't care until I'm lying on the floor. If everybody's been through this, could we please get it over with. 'cause right now no one fucking cares that I am walking out that door. 'cause there are cracks between the lines the type that don't fill up with time. and there's a head shaped hole in the wall from when you ran across the room and tried to teach me something about pain that I hadn't learned in highschool. you said I'll partake in all the planned activities and I'll show up for your concerts and I'll listen to your songs before they come out on the web first I said I'm having an outburst 'cause I can't stop thinking about how you felt when I started drinking and drinking some more. you were trapped in Baltimore.

This is the story of the most brave my most fave space cadet. This is the story of the most brave my most fave space cadet. This is the story of the most brave my most fave space cadet. They said he was invincible they said he wouldn't die and then my most favorite, the most brave space cadet dropped out of the sky. Now this is the story of my most fave, the most flat space cadet. Now this is the story of the most brave, the most flattened space cadet. This is the story of the most brave my most fave space cadet. But you wouldn't understand, he's a space traveling man. traveling man. (traveling man) traveling (space) man (traveling man) traveling man traveling man

Late night conversations turn to late night drinks as I crawl on hands and knees to someone else's arms and we'll both close our eyes and pretend that I'm not me but then I open my eyes and I'm alone in my room again with screenshots of conversations that we had when I didn't introduce you as "my friend" and I will help you look at schools and I will help you plan your future the one that doesn't involve me in any sense but that's your right and I will help you sleep at night at the expense of my own body but every day only feels okay until I wake up in the morning this double twin bed swallows me whole the jersey sheets become my lifeline thank you Carlo, Jason, and Meghan and anyone else who was around when I was lying on the bathroom floor and then sky became the ground it's not my time, it's not my time. not quite yet. nothing is that bad, not really, you tell me as I sit alone in bed and try to make sense of the dots on the ceiling soon they'll become mountains and my eyes will put off the climb that I know that I must make but not quite yet, I'm not prepared I need to do my laundry and cut my hair I need to acknowledge all the things I can't ignore anymore like my cut off shorts and the box of nicotine patches that's always empty and lying on my desk. but not quite yet. these words have so little meaning, anyway. you remind me as I walk back to my place. through the crowds of everyone that you thought I could be. but that's not me, that's not me, not really. nothing is that bad not really you tell me as I sit alone in bed. nothing is that bad not really you tell me as I sit alone in nothing is that bad? not really. you tell me as I sit alone in (bed) nothing is that bad? not really you tell me as I sit alone in bed

about

Thank you to everyone that's ever supported us. It means the world to us to release this. Also sorry to the girls in the dorm next door who would probably rather pay $40 for this band to break up than $4 for the EP so they wouldn't have to hear me record background screaming. Anyway, thank you everyone. I love you all. Except you, Ed.

- Brian
