Prologue 01:58
If you're wanting more I guess it's better if I leave you wanting more Welcome one and all You made it to the bitter end The final curtain call before this show goes on the road again And we won't drag it out, no If you're wanting more I guess it's better if I leave you wanting more I'd rather that than you get sick of all my shit My emotional impediment leaves you needing, wanting more I'd rather leave you wanting If you're wanting more I guess it's better if I leave you wanting more It's hard to say but maybe when all's said and done You'll recognize I'm not the one to keep you from wanting more I'd rather leave you wanting

Drowning, feels like I'm drowning in someone else's Mind my own business but still feeling suspicious of the person that I am when I'm about To finish with Her body's not my body and I don't want to lose myself inside of a lie So I'd give it all up to make it all stop if it's feeling like a hell of a time She said, I'm no economist but I've learned a thing or two Sunk cost ain't a reason to keep investing in you I said, Hey Well, thanks It's nice to know you're thinking clearly I'm unclear on what you're feeling Would it kill you to give a little love, a little pain Maybe this'll piss you off for the last time 'Cause I don't wanna lose myself inside of a lie So I'd give it all up to make it all stop if it's feeling like a hell of a time She said, I'm no scuba diver but I feel out of my depth The floor dropped out below me and all I need is to decompress Said we'd burn that bridge when we got to it (And we got to it) I didn't keep my promise But is anybody surprised Said we'd burn that bridge when we got to it (And we got to it) I didn't keep my promise Can't pass up a chance to lose myself inside a hell of a time. We're pretty dangerous This flame's contagious Wake up, or don't, you better give this a rest You would turn a lesser girl into an arsonist I said we'd burn that bridge when we got to it (And we got to it) I didn't keep my promise But is anybody surprised Fucking no Said we'd burn that bridge when we got to it (And we got to it) I didn't keep my promise But is anybody surprised (Fucking no) Said we'd burn that bridge when we got to it (And we got to it) I didn't keep my promise But is anybody surprised Said we'd burn that bridge when we got to it (And we got to it) I didn't keep my promise Can't pass up a chance to lose myself inside a hell of a time

Dog Daze 03:05
I spent the day with a book, Harry Potter five, hiding in a nook Avoiding my family friends, but I kind of wanted just to talk with them Don't make a sound, I'm still writing this one out I'd rather lose you Keep that shit to yourself To yourself We're back to two-thousand four, me and Harry Potter are on the floor My mom calls me down for food, and I feel more social after eating food Don't make a sound, I'm still writing this one out I'd rather lose you Keep that shit to yourself To myself Start to think you're gonna get up but the next episode starts and you turn that shit up Your good intentions are good for nothing 'Cause you only care about one thing at a time You just don't know which way to go You say, you say, you say Your good intentions are good for nothing 'Cause you only care about one thing at a time You just don't know which way to go You say, you say You say, La la la la laaa, la la la la la la la la la laaaa La laaaa, la la la la laaa, la la la la la la-la la la laaaa Don't make a sound, I'm still writing this one out I'd rather lose you Keep that shit to yourself To yourself Don't make a sound, I'm still writing this one out I'd rather lose you Keep that shit to yourself Your good intentions are good for nothing 'Cause you only care about one thing at a time You just don't know which way to go You say, you say, you say Your good intentions are good for nothing 'Cause you only care about one thing at a time You just don't know which way to go You say, you say, you say

Waterfall 03:01
When I found you After you fell off that waterfall I'll never forget what I saw The colors of your hurt The red of your blood and the whites of your eyes and the blue of your face, just Dying in the dirt But you didn't You slowly came to life again Couldn't remember where you'd been But you leaned against my chest Examined your hands, felt the crack in your chin, and you wanted to sleep, but We couldn't let you rest Whoa, I wanted to save you But I couldn't let you go No, I couldn't let you go Oh, no I never thought I'd have a friend die in my lap But even less likely was that friend coming back You got lucky, and not just 'cause we were there All I did was roll you on your side, call for help, and send a prayer 'Cause had the CAT scan showed you leaking tons of blood into your brain No, I wouldn't have felt responsible, but I might have gone insane 'Cause you got me thinking about death in a way I never have It's so close at hand, it's just around the corner Even when I'm dancing, especially when I'm drinking Even when I'm falling down, ten feet down Six feet under the waterfall No, no, no, no, no, no, no Oh, I wanted to save you But I couldn't let you go No, I couldn't let you go Oh, no

about

after premiering four new songs to a packed and sweaty Bushwick Public House, the band decided to cut an EP. they prepared for the recording session by trekking to their go-to Cheesecake Factory in Queens the night before. unfortunately, their only recourse to avoid a 90-minute wait for a table was to cross the street to Olive Garden. running on the fumes of unlimited breadsticks and cheap wine, they tracked Cue the Hysteria! the following morning.
