    This is our second EP, which includes the CD itself and a lyric booklet. Lots of you may know we put a lot of care and thought into our lyric booklets; each song has a character, a photo, and a personality. So basically, if you like our synthy tunes and cute drawings from Khue, this is the CD for you.

    We decided for this EP to give each CD (as in the CD's themselves) a character. Below are the choices; Wolfgang the wolf (he may be a werewolf, you'll have to ask him), Honey the bear, Tatiana Mooslany the moose, Trentacles the giant octopus, Elliot the elephant, and Cat the raccoon.

lyrics

Horrifying
It speaks in silence
Don't look in my eyes
They're too red to find me
And I'm still searching
Thought I found purpose
thought i found enough to
stop my minds violence
can you hear me can you tell me why everything here is silent
I am too self aware to build any more disguises of hope and trust that this will resolve, there's no sirens
There's no saving in this story with those meant to be dying

Forget sex drugs, a couple songs with buzz
Is there anything I can do just to feel loved
So I starve, scar, wake up and tear apart
The jeans shrink, the size screams, the seams of my heart
Are tied to the number, tied around my waist
And hers like my hands that hurt and the burns on my skin from the flames
That I am running to, running towards, I promise I try to run away
But I am always followed by weight

So many stories
The first time I cut my skin is unimportant
Some people ask for an age, lower the number greater the pain
But it's the nights you'll never hear about that were my poison
My best friend doesn't know the ways I've prayed to be adjourned and
My girlfriend doesn't know about the binge I swore I wouldn't do
Swore I'd get some help
But those words are just perfume
I wear mine for someone else
I take time in this skeleton
Trying not to shed this skin
Trying not to die for something
I can't even see and I am
Holding onto sentences
Sentences so cold like
"Give it time" and "pills save lives"
And "this isn't as far as you can go"
Hear me
Reach out but don't come near me
I am out of control you know how it goes
You know this kind of screaming
And you know it loudest when the lights are out
Cathedrals in our minds built around doubt
We hear in the silence and scream without sound
But it echoes in the graveyard in the neighboring town
I am colder
You know it, I know it too
Are we getting worse as we're getting older
Or is it just getting harder to hide from view
Take some pills to get a night closer
Hating time for not moving forward
I want live, I want to stay
But I never thought I'd feel this disordered
Is there anyone
Who can h-e-l-p
Anyone
Who can s-a-v-e
Me
