Draining Me 03:22
DRAINING ME You're not part of the solution You're not part of the problem You are my problem You're the reason why my hair falls out The reason why my eyes are dry The reason why I punch these walls You're the reason why I feel so small & I hurt myself You're draining me Sucking on my soul Draining me Making me feel old You're draining me Twist my arm 'til it dislocates Pulls my hand 'til the fingers break You are my problem You're the reason why I feel so cheap The reason why I'm losing sleep The reason why I cut my skin You're the reason why I never win The reason why Visions of you six feet under make me smile It's the only thing that makes me smile so please Please make me smile You're draining me You're like a vampire Draining me Leaving me empty Draining me.

Don't Say It 01:43
DON'T SAY IT I've seen you walk your line & never cross the line I've seen you be yourself & never know yourself I don't want to hear you say I don't know what you're going through I don't want to hear you say Life is so much harder for you I've seen you be afraid & then it was too late I've heard you say you cared I turned around & you weren't there I don't want to hear you say You've got my back & I'm worth your cause I don't want to hear you say Everything's gonna be OK when it never was You left us & that is fine I'm not here to give you a hard time You messed up but that's OK You fucked up You gave up But that's alright I'm not mad I don't want to hear you say You'll call me up & we'll have a drink I don't want to hear you say I'm in your thoughts cause it makes me think I don't want to hear you say You miss me when you never cared before I don't want to hear you say Everything's gonna be OK when it never was But that's alright.

Isolation 02:58
ISOLATION Everything It comes & goes It's over now & I can't hear a sound Left this here for you to find If you will A tiny piece of my mind Sometimes I think this feeling's here for just one day It's over now but it won't go away Can you see it now? Can you understand? Isolation is my only friend Would you deal with me? Would you just pretend? Isolation is my only friend Here without a voice to hear Isolate me from the things you fear Better now All alone Leave me here to heal all on my own Everything makes sense when I'm all by myself I can't explain to anybody else The only voice I hear is the one in my head It's always there for me It keeps me company.

Is This Joy? 01:54
IS THIS JOY? Well everything is fine I guess I can't complain I'm bored out of my mind No alcohol in my veins So here I am & there you are 3,000 miles away from me With alcohol free blood You know it tastes so sweet But I'm still not convinced So I guess I'll go to sleep Here I am & there you are 3,000 miles away from me Is this what it feels like to be happy? Cause being happy drives me crazy The big question is: Do I really want to? Do I want to find out? Is this joy?

Unstable 00:48
UNSTABLE I can't speak I can't breathe & I can't shake it away from me Am I up? Am I down? I think the answer's all too clear I can't control emotions I don't want Can't make it go away I can't think when emptiness is here & I can't run away Sometimes I bend Sometimes I break "It's in my blood" -Bl'ast! I hate it when I'm sane Makes me want to retract my brain I never feel at ease So don't try to make me feel at ease.

IF I WAS SMART I look away Don't stare at me My paranoia is stronger than me But if I was smart I'd turn it off It's like a virus I can't stop It keeps on living inside my thoughts Taking over my life I gotta stop & think but I can't stop the thinking Once again If I was smart I'd lose my mind Too much for me to take I think I need a break Now everyday feels like a closed door I can't look inside anymore But if I was smart I'd drive myself right out of these situations If I were brilliant I would know it's not my decision Something inside of me is taking over me Once again If I was smart I'd walk away But I have no control & I can't break the mold It breaks me If I was smart I'd lose my mind I'd find a wishing well & I would break the spell But it breaks me.

about

This was a last minute thing, which is how we did most of our recordings.

Souk had just joined the band, we were about to go on tour with Rise Against & we figured we needed a new release for the tour. We had 3 songs that we wrote with Nick before he left the band that Souk had to learn & we wrote 3 new ones in about a week. Souk was working night shifts so we would practice when he got back from work @ 7am every morning for about 2 weeks. It's the strangest thing to play this kind of music @ 7 in the morning.

We hit the studio the following week, recorded & mixed for 5-6 days & that was that. We left the studio feeling like it would have been really great to put a little more time into this thing...

...& then the tour was postponed for a few months which would have given us plenty of time to write more, practice more, & take a little more time in the studio.

Listening to this now, I like the songs & the energy. These are some of my favourite lyrics I ever wrote.

-JonH.
