THIS IS NOT AN EP

TheEliteExtremophile There’s a jovial, oddball energy here that is strongly inspired by–but distinct from–Cardiacs. It draws from that band’s energy and odd humor, and it also includes strong pop sensibilities that often remind me of moments on Abbey Road.

Social 03:15
I don't really want to be here any longer than I have to be There's people everywhere and it freaks me out I politely decline a slice from your pizza I can´t stand the taste of my breath mint It stings in my mouth as I speak and the cologne these people use starts to wear me down as the night just keeps on getting more social I can´t seem to get it right And I would bet that you all feel the same We think so highly of ourselves Until we find ourselves together in a room I don´t want to go home Now it is morning again Yeah, last night was a night to forget I ended up going bar to bar And that´s where my money was spent No matter how I try I can´t seem to sedate my blue mind I know that at any point I could have gone back home But the headache was worth all my time

Bad Boy 04:44
Are you feeling blue today? Everyone else have faded away And you lay in your bed wondering What am I meant to do? I know I should be looking ahead But it´s hard to get out of my bed And time keeps ticking away I won´t even try to be good I´d be a bad, bad boy if I could Whenever I´m sad I don´t cry I store my feelings inside the only mind that I have I won´t even try to be good I´d be a bad, bad boy if I could Whenever I´m sad I don´t cry I store my feelings inside the only mind The only mind that I have Are you too tired to do your laundry? Does everything keep piling up, do you feel like you´ve been left in the dust? And education is an afterthought You have been told that it will be alright But you have this feeling deep inside And time keeps ticking away I won´t even try to be good I´d be a bad, bad boy if I could Whenever I´m sad I don´t cry I store my feelings inside the only mind that I have I won´t even try to be good I´d be a bad, bad boy if I could Whenever I´m sad I don´t cry I store my feelings inside the only mind that I have I want to be somebody you can trust and hold I want to be yours You know I´ll do what I´m told I want to be someone that you can trust with your life Please text me back or something I am losing my mind Why did you leave so broken and afraid? It´s colder now that you have gone away I wanna kick you in the heart (you should not have found another man) I wanna go back to the start again (pick me, pick me, pick me) I wanna kick you in the heart (you should not have found another man) Do you know that I am better now? I´ve changed I´ve changed I´ve changed I´ve changed She walks and turns towards her home Restraining orders are a joke She calls the cops but he has brought a gun So he shoots in the air and has a lot of fun At her expense I wonder why you even felt the need To deplete my only source of energy My one and only PS3 My best friend and you What a pair If you don´t try there´s no incentive For you to get up and explore the streets it´s easier to remain underneath the hole That pulls you away I won´t even try to be good I´d be a bad, bad boy if I could Whenever I´m sad I don´t cry I store my feelings inside the only mind that I have I won´t even try to be good I´d be a bad, bad boy if I could Whenever I´m sad I don´t cry I store my feelings inside the only mind that I have

I am really sorry I am out of things to do I tried to clean my house but now the whole thing is on fire All my friends will hate me for what I´m about to do But I don´t really care no more Unless you ask me to Fill your heart with oil And pass me a lighter you´re on the upper floor We have seen this stuff before Fill your heart with oil And pass me a lighter You´re next up in the line Act cool and you´ll be fine I am very lonely, I am bitter, I am sad I´m hoping that today will go away (just like your dad) I know one day I´ll get a job and have two screaming kids Then I´ll go on a power trip just to see how it feels Fill your heart with oil And pass me a lighter you´re on the upper floor We have seen this stuff before Fill your heart with oil And pass me a lighter You´re next up in the line Act cool and you´ll be fine Save me from myself I like you, you know But I have nothing left, nothing more To show for my Lack of thorough reflection I want to kiss you on the lips I know you don´t mind my company And you know that I am crazy I just want to be with you all day, everyday You said I don´t need friends and I have to agree We are two and we don´t need to be three I love you, my baby Help me, I´m scared Shady van across the street So conspicious The man inside my house is looking for things that are worth much More than what he already has in his bank account I am scared and lonely Someone please just get me out Fill your heart with oil And pass me a lighter you´re on the upper floor We have seen this stuff before Fill your heart with oil And pass me a lighter You´re next up in the line Act cool and you´ll be fine Take me on, give it here Allow me to breathe Knowing I was in the wrong No one dares to get out Without knowing the vast consequenses Of being alone Take me on, give it here Allow me to breathe Knowing I was in the wrong No one dares to get out Without knowing the vast consequenses Of being alone Take me on, give it here Allow me to breathe Knowing I was in the wrong No one dares to get out Without knowing the vast consequenses
