I tried to find my own perspective but I couldn’t see When your life became the one I projected, I thought you were me Little lies teach us how to pretend Then devour us before the end Every moment adding all up to one I know you saw it coming but you can’t just up and run When you’re fading, the memory splits in two One of them was mine, the other one was living through you I wasn’t sure there was a problem but I thought I knew When you found the answer I always wanted, I thought I was you Simple truths give our minds a chance to rest Then deceive us with a second guess Every moment adding all up to one I know you saw it coming but you can’t just up and run When you’re fading, the memory splits in two One of them was blind, the other one was your point of view Don’t you understand nothing went to plan You were never meant to break All your little lies, all your wasted time Trying to make the right mistake all your life Every moment adding all up to one I know you saw it coming but you can’t just up and run When you’re fading, the memory splits in two One of them wants only to pretend and one is living through you

Caving In 03:27
Your whole life you were stoic and stable, saving up for the rainiest day You told us all your facts and your fables before they slipped away I see you in a chemical daydream, memory overfilled and confused I want you to tell me nothing comes easy just like you used to do Day and night, fortune or strife, you sheltered the flames in the wind It’s hard to hear you say you’re alright with all the strength you hold inside Caving in You sat there at the head of the table where long ago you were never alone You held on until the world was unstable and then you let it go I see you in a chemical daydream, memories fading into the air I still smile when you say that you know me but you’re not really there Day and night, fortune or strife, you sheltered the flames in the wind It’s hard to hear you say you’re alright with all the truth you wore so thin Whether it’s wrong or right, darkness or light, nothing outlasts everything It’s sad to see you waving goodbye with all the love you hold inside Caving in

Loose Ends 03:29
Tying up the loose ends like so many times before Once you think you’ve tied them all, you’ve loosened up ten more Something plain and simple, like trying to make amends Never seems to turn out right, tying up loose ends Sifting through your own thoughts, leaving nothing incomplete Soon enough you realize that’s not an easy feat What was once a ribbon is now some tangled knots You can’t always sort them out, sifting through your thoughts Things will only come together when you turn away No matter the time or the place, some truths are here to stay You could be somebody real, not someone who pretends If only you’d live your life and stop spending all your time Tying up loose ends in your mind I appreciate your concern but I think I’m doing fine When they ask I’ll tell them that we were just good friends I may not have a gift for telling lies, no skill at making amends I may not have a gift for telling lies, but I can tie loose ends

about

This EP was recorded remotely in 2020. We had been playing these songs like before the pandemic and once it hit and we went into lockdown, I thought it would be cool to try and record all of our parts separately and then mix them together. So that's what we did! Thanks so much to Omar Shabbar, Colin McNally, Nathaniel Edgar, and Joseph Landau for their incredible performances on these songs!
