Rhez Not much to say, really. If you have anything that even slightly resembles an affinity for pop punk, I can see literally nothing that would keep you from greatly enjoying this E.P.
Great follow-up to their last one! Favorite track: Dead Head.

So Stoked 03:07
dude this is lame luck's running out the deck is stacked I'm bumming out how could this day get any worse? pressure in my head is gonna burst on circumstance I get caught up can't find the diamond in the rough comatose - I'm paralyzed I bit the fruit fell for the lie when everything and everyone leaves me feeling bummed You lift my head revive - restart the drive in my brain the fire in my heart life's rough - I get it but shut down and regret it I'm so spend, but I'm not broke this gloom grips me but it's not my home I made my bed now I lie in it no point to complain it is what it is it's only natural to focus on ourselves and we wonder why we're so miserable one-sided small-minded we seem to tend our own health self-idol entitled we need to take the focus off our selves

Stag Line 03:10
stomach a-fluttering heart sputtering what did you mean when you sent that last text? brain-chems a-pumping I'm not loving these highs and lows they leave me with nothing faster heart rate tense up - eyes dilate am I having a heart attack? if I passed out now I'd be okay with that okay with that what's wrong with me? don't wanna be showing up stag forever perfect hindsight can't get it right another fruitless endeavor that awkward moment when people start asking where my special someone is I'm like, "I don't know, man I missed the game plan all I know is it will happen when it happens" by myself I lie me, myself and I try to convince myself that I'm not a loser think I don't need them prefer my freedom but science says that single guys die sooner time slips away that's what it feels like anyway am I having a panic attack? if I passed out now I'd be okay with that okay with that a wise person once told me Andrew, you're heading straight for tragedy you see, life's not about getting the girl, man it'll leave you broken if you let it rule your world and don't think for a second that your life is the rules' exception seek God play to your strengths work hard stay humble and you'll be in the right place

Voices 02:44
I’ve been in the desert for years now, my name hanging heavy from my neck, all I want is a future where I’m not sifting through the sand for hints of glass, pieces of a self I want to become. If the best of me is a handful of days I haven’t lived yet, make each day into a room where I can sleep soundly, let me pass from room to room and throw all the windows open. In this echo chamber, I throw my voice until it sounds bigger than what I fear becoming, until it is all I can become, and still it isn’t enough—please, cut my name from my neck, move the letters around until I have a new name, make my voice bigger than it is, make me more than all of this

Dead Head 03:32
okay this might sound weird but roll with me on this: I believe in God but I'm not here to judge or dismiss I love you even if you don't believe in what I do 'cause I'm called to put my needs behind you I'm not here to prove you wrong but I know I'm right I know you don't get it no belief - reject it discussed and scoffed just write it off but I still respect you even if you don't live life the way I do I know to you I must seem like a dead head a dead head not that bent on politics right or left I don't fit in so render Ceasar what is his and keep the change ya' filthy animal help the widow clothe the poor put down your fists what are you fighting for? defending what God never said breed arrogant entitlement I'm not here to prove you wrong but I know I'm right I'm okay with the fact that I'm not right about everything don't wanna bicker don't wanna argue we think differently but that doesn't mean I treat you any different show you respect though I don't agree I've got your back and I know you have mine you're still cool with me

you've been cold you've been heartless you've broken your promise underhanded, disenchanted and less than forward but don't get to down on yourself you know it's not good for your health you can't change who you've been you can just move forward you know it i know it so lets not pretend swallow your pride you're not as cool as you thought you were It's God's grace you're alive and don't forget it, never forget it be the change that you want to see rearrange your priorities take heart & don't dwell on what might be keep your head up and never stop fighting you blew it you screwed this up let's be real and move on you need to press on with the gift you've been given you can't change who you've been you can just move forward you know it i know it so let's not pretend
