Heaven's Bakery Blues 02:06
lyrics
I feel like I’m still trying my best just so I can try to stay afloat. I feel like I’m still drowning. I’m trying my best to speak with the water in my throat. I’ve got nothing in my mind.

Merritt 04:35
lyrics
If I could have changed the way things worked out that night I’d have done anything to get you home safe. I’d ask you to stay, don’t go. Please just wait. I’d do anything just to get one moment just so I could say please don’t go home.. I never thought that’d be the last time I’d see your face. Don’t let this be the last fucking song. Then I read what the paper said. It made me so fucking sick to see what they had in fucking print. Those stupid fucks, they don’t even know. You are not the kid they wrote. But for you, man.. You’ll live fucking long. When your car went off the road on your way home from our show.. I saw the ambulance go by. I remember the chill down my spine. You may have died listening to our songs. But I’ll make sure you live through them too.

Wolfie Approved 04:39
lyrics
I used to feel like I was the only one with the ability to recognize that we are getting older now, with a lot to realize. But, I’m trying so fucking hard. When you feel it in your veins and you’ve got to make it count if this is what you want for happiness. That’s all we are waiting for.. Now I feel like we’ve got everything where we want. Every box is checked and marked. I feel like there’s no place like here right now. I’m never giving up. We’re never giving up. There ain’t no time like right now. There ain’t no place like the place we are right now. I wouldn’t trade that for anything in the world.
4.
Hollywood 03:13
lyrics
Complete disgust for your scene and what it has become. Uncontrollable hatred for fashion and the shit you do. You follow people that you’re told to follow and stand up for an anthem in the name of control. When will you get it? Think for yourself. Stop listening to people and what they sell. It’s nothing but anger and a cause for hatred. My anger turns to music and yours turns to fucking dollar signs. My infamous disbelief in all your fucking lies. Welcome to Hollywood..

about

We returned home from a mini tour with our friends, Wolfie Burns, and decided to go to the studio to record some new material. Before we entered the studio our friend Tyler Merritt, sadly, passed away. So, we decided instead of going into the studio simply to record some songs we made sure we went into to record an EP that he would have loved. Don't let it be the last fucking song. Rest easy, man.

In memory of Tyler Merritt.
You'll always be missed.
