Home Again 02:54
You’re covering your face with your hands again You left a note, said you think you might wanna come back one day but you don’t know when I’m back to making everything worse again Throw it away with no discretion Fill my grave with second chances (I never learned to leave well enough alone) Something tells me Im not coming back from this (And I made promises that I can’t keep, I guess I should’ve known) But all I wanted was to make things right And make this feel like home again Take everything back I said Light a match to all my sins Make this feel like home again I’m scrubbing at the stains on my slate again I left a note, said I wanna get clean one day but I don’t know when I wanna bury my face in the dirt again And leave my skin with no replacement Bet it all on red for a reputation

Infinite 03:05
You’re finally feeling infinite Unbothered in the back of your broken head You swear you’re not the one misled More than just a qualified candidate You’re cleaning up so well Left your shame up on the shelf So make yourself a bed Fill it with regret Maybe you can fall asleep instead You’re spending all your nights Staring at the lights And the blades that the fan keeps spinning But it’s happened more than I can count on More than I can count on both hands He’s begging for a second chance A favor for the class degenerate You swear that’s it’s been all in jest You’re falling for the secular scare tactics You’re cleaning up so well So make yourself a bed Fill it with regret Maybe you can fall asleep instead You’re spending all your nights Staring at the lights And the blades that the fan keeps spinning But it’s happened more than I can count on More than I can count on my hands I’m saving all my last farewells (Take apart the best of what you are) They’re gathering to see another mercy kill (Lace the words, complacent left in awe) I’m saving all my last farewells (Take apart the best of what you are) You’ve been standing at the summit But you’ll die on that hill I’m begging for a second chance You’re my heroine, I’m the degenerate So make yourself a bed Fill it with regret Maybe you can fall asleep instead You’re spending all your nights Staring at the lights And the blades that the fan keeps spinning You made yourself a bed Filled it with regret Maybe you can fall asleep instead You’re spending all your nights Staring at the lights And the blades that the fan keeps spinning (You’re finally feeling infinite) But it’s happened more than I can count on (You swear you’re not the one misled) More than I can count on both my hands

Miles Away 04:07
All year long I’ve been tripping over tombstones Hoping you were leaving a trail behind for me I managed to find a way to lead myself astray All year long Ive been bending over backwards Coping with the ache is all but out of reach And making sense of what it means to feel okay All year long I’ve been stuck inside my head Going over every word I said to you Waiting for my mouth to come unglued so I can breathe again Everything you left behind Was packed inside regrets and photographs The memories are broken glass cause February never lasts And all the weeks start stacking up Into a year that slipped away Numb my brain, just smile and wave While my mind is miles away My mind is miles and miles away I’ve been staring at a dozen clocks on the wall And all the hands have borrowed more than they can afford I swear I heard it again Your voice was permanent And I can still hear it echo through the cracks in the floor Everything you left behind Was packed inside regrets and photographs The memories are broken glass cause February never lasts And all the weeks started stacking up Into a year I pissed away Numb my brain, just smile and wave While my mind is miles away All year long (My mind is miles and miles away) I’m still tripping over tombstones (My mind is miles and miles away)

Sanctuary 05:03
We never could acknowledge It was all for one You were my accomplice It was awful fun You’d think we enjoy it Naive and disappointing You’ll need me in the morning I’m leaving in the morning I’ve been clinging to the roses and your rosary And the shape of your face is in the mirror Where your pain used to be We’ve been leaving a lot of pages and stones left unturned The canvas in the corner Hiding from my name I never learned to grow I grew content in my frame I’ll need you in the morning But you’re leaving in the morning You’d think we enjoy being naive and disappointing I’ve been clinging to the roses and your rosary And the shape of your face is in the mirror Where your pain used to be We’ve been leaving a lot of pages and stones left unturned (Would your mind have even changed?) (Or did you ever know my name?) (Or wonder if I could say) (“I wanted to stay”?) We watched the sanctuary burn I’ve been burning my end of the rope It’s the only way out that I know And you never learned to let go And it’s keeping you cold You never learned to let go It’s the only way I’ve ever known And I’m burning my end of the rope And it’s keeping you cold I kept you in the cold Oh I kept you in the cold

about

Miles Away and the EP as a whole is dedicated to our friend Sam Hutchins who we love and miss every single day. I think he would be stoked as hell that our most streamed song to date is about him. Miss you buddy.
