lyrics

I would rather die alone,
Than to have to bother you,
The secrets that you don’t know,
Wouldn’t change your point of view.

I would rather die alone,
Than to make you self-aware,
That I’m running from my shadows,
Still hoping to meet you there.

Is any wonder why we’re failing?
I couldn’t look you in the eye,
I don’t want you, but I don’t want to let you go,
A selfish heart could stem the tide.

I never asked once, I didn’t even try,
Would be easier if I just said goodbye,
Never asked once, too late to try,
Would it be easier if I just said goodbye?

I need to walk away,
I know I’ll never change,
The feeling I don’t get,
When I call your name.

If you could just feel the same,
It would make easier,
Guess there’s always pain,
When lust disappears.

Wow absolutely love every song - positive engergy blasting through my ears - heart beats per minute at 222 - every strum and hit and shout deserves its own memory - when this album plays, heaven is an ocean of sound waves and the cover art of heathcliff is printed on my surfboard - especially enjoyed all bass lines ;) IronBizkit222

Remote Controlled EP
by Set Fire To Reason

Like early Bad Religion colliding with Ignite's tour van. Ripe for the Fat Wreck / early Epitaph enthusiast... The opener is gold, but this 3-tracker is catchy and solid. With a great Chicago pedigree, you can't go wrong. Craving a full-length big time... Michael F.
