Here's a short synopsis: FOUR ROOMMATES ARE DONE WITH THEIR BORING DAY TO DAY LIFE. AFTER RECEIVING A MYSTERIOUS MESSAGE, THEY DECIDE TO TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH. ON THEIR JOURNEY, THEY QUICKLY REALISE THAT THEY’RE NOT THE ONLY ONES WITH THIS DESTINATION. THEY FIND OUT THINGS ABOUT THEMSELVES AND THE PEOPLE AROUND THEM THAT THEY’D RATHER FORGET, AND TRY TO POWER THROUGH TO THE VERY END. Unravel all the secrets within the story, and find out what's going on! There's a lot more to be heard and seen from this narrative. This EP is part one of a three-parter of EP's. This narrative will end with a shortfilm-animation, and a deluxe album!

Just wanna sleep Wanna sleep Wanna sleep Wanna sleep Wanna sleep In my tent Wanna sleep Wanna sleep Wanna sleep Wanna sleep Wanna sleep In my tent Order’s up A waste of space is dragging a guitar case Pretty lonesome The floor is dust With homebodies like butter on a breadcrust I’m tripping out My head rings I haven’t had enough, I haven’t had enough All around me people holding useless things And all I want to do is Crawl beneath Go under the surface I want to do a ceiling service ‘Hey girl’ A ‘What’s-upper’ Do you really want to know what is covered?

Maybe then I was home What if I took an extra step Maybe I would’ve stayed back Not in this car with a long road left Somedays I feel like I should wait and just see But now I feel like I should’ve chosen for me And now I see the stars From a different land, on the way to a place where I shouldn’t be It’s not really fair, is it? One day I get a note With directions where to go And now I can’t breathe It’s not really fair, is it? Is it?
