Lungs 03:01
Will I forget? All the times you held my hand just to let me know that you'd stay five minutes more I know that you will leave as soon as I fall asleep And I'll pretend that you've stayed here all night long I spent all mornings staring at the ceiling Wishing not to dream again I still see you in my sleep, stuck in my dreams Afraid, again ‘cause I'm miles away from home and this room is my hell Will I forget? All the times you held my hand just to let me know that you'd stay five minutes more But wait until I fall asleep tonight ‘cause I'm miles away from home I'm not even able to lift my head I'm laying on the carpet with dust in my lungs I never asked you to understand but I always hoped you would

Still 03:42
Crawling ‘cause my legs don't feel the same darling I just want to stay at home Even if I'm scared And I’m needing you the most I still find myself holding back my tears when you look at me I'm wasting time and I'm lying awake Pretending to sleep to make you stay I'm wavering through the aisle of my home I'm waiting for you to call me back I can't bare this alone I can't bare this no more When I needed you the most is when you hurt me more I refused to heal my wounds and you digged your nails into it Sometimes I hold my breath to check if I'm alive When I needed you the most is when you hurt me more I still find myself holding back my tears when you look at me I'm wasting time and I'm lying awake Pretending to sleep to make you stay I'm wavering through the aisle of my home I'm waiting for you to call me back I can't bare this alone I can't bare this no more

Enough 03:36
I'm constantly having that feeling that makes me think I'm not good enough I can't feel my heartbeat, when did it stop beating? And my lungs refuse to inhale new oxygen Am I better off dead? Or will life bring me joy? Every morning I struggle to find the strenght to make it through the day But sometimes I let myself be overwhelmed and I give up Do I deserve this pain, for what I've done? Now that you sleep with someone else in the bed where I gave you my heart Am I better off dead? Am I better off dead? I lost you but I lost myself too When I refused to heal my wounds You digged your nails into me Do I deserve this pain, for what I've done? Now that you sleep with someone else in the bed where I gave you my heart For two years I pretended to find myself in someone else For two years I hoped to find a way to forgive But I still haunt you in my sleep Bury me or let me sleep to death ‘cause I can't handle this no more I'm so sick of sleeping on the floor After all these years do you still love me? Do I deserve this pain, for what I've done? Now that you sleep with someone else in the bed where I gave you my heart Do I deserve this pain, for what I've done? Now that you sleep with someone else in the bed where I gave you my rotten love

about

The entire EP is an outburst to a recent period of our lives, when one of us had to leave his hometown for work and was left by his former girlfriend around the same time,we felt like our whole world was crumbling. The lyrics glide through the different phases of this period: solitude, anger, regret and love.
