Port of Call 04:22
I saw the world outside I thought I'd seen it all I got the highest high I fell the deepest fall You say there's more to life That there could be encores I say there's more to life I missed the curtain call Avoiding condescending stares From passersby Passing me by In the act of trying to live Why can't I just dance in public? I thought I'd seen it (all) I saw the world outside I swore I'd seen it all Well I'm still standing here I'm stuck in port of call You say there's more to life I guess that you were right I've still not seen it all You said I ain't seen nothin' I guess that you were right

You've been living life Like a ghost from another time You've only fucked up once But you, you've served your time I've been thinking of you Back in days and times passed It's like you're stuck in a painting, A book, or a cast And when the goosebumps hit You're already in the past The cold rush you feel A reminder to live fast WHOOOA They say/People need a Place to/Go back to Sometimes/We can make it For us/For me and for you We made time stand still On a Sunday The clocks ceased and there was Sunshine And I've been wondering What you're thinking While we're stuck in Endless Purgatory And I've been wondering What you're thinking And I've been wondering

Ghost Dance 04:36
Our bodies steeped in saccharine As the ghost dance takes up residence Superseded by mindlessness We can do a lot, we can't raise the dead Some things are better left untouched Some things are better left undone I can't believe That you're still trying Unclench your hands To live is to spoil Linger and soil Unclench your hands You saw so many people die I hope you're not dead inside When you go to sleep at night Do you hear the ghosts beneath your floor boards? Do the dreams that you have Take you to the places you won't see again?
4.
The air is heavy I can feel your eyes widen, open But I can't equate your pain Empathy only carries me so far Your daddy's walked out But they say you're acting out I can't believe you've come this far His incarceration won't leave you walled in Four walls, white halls will not shape you Hang in there, young buck, it won't be long Your teacher says that you just don't want to learn She goes home to the suburbs I can't believe they cannot see it Won't they put on your secondhand shoes? Eat some garbage for breakfast Do the hair of your baby sister Wait for open arms Wait for someone to shape you What if nobody comes? What if this is as good as it gets? I can't believe they haven't changed the system They might feed you but they'll let you do I wish you the best It'll be you against the world your whole life

Nick's Song 03:04
The sheets are sweaty Yeah we both know how No nightmares, it's just dreams Our bodies entwined like licorice I can't help wondering How much these dreams last I feel so elusive It feels exclusive Lay calm and still Let the night wash over you When the night had overcome us On that day so long ago It served as a reminder That we're stuck together As our server told us "It's closing time", we begged for more But the snow would come and we burrow out
6.
Come home Because This house when empty can't be called Another name Baseless Don't turn your keys Before you go A book's pages won't turn Without a desire to learn about So don't wait up Like a summary we can't go Two kids, two heads It's the quiet things that make us reflect For some a warmth of harmony For others, society that makes us ache What do you feel in the silence of the night? Well I'll say it, don't have to, but I'll tell you Nostalgia won't carry you, and shouldn't have to Well I said it, because I have to, or won't tell you I'll tell you create your own life, and don't take mine

about

This last EP was our last bit of steam. Lots of cool ideas here, as well as few live staples and songs that were never actually heard live, or even performed by the whole band at once. Kind of Beatles-style, I guess.
Thank you for listening and for your support!
