1.
the pain is square between my ears it stares me in the face was hit by a speeding car yet i don’t see a trace i healed up just fine in bed they screwed my parts back on but lost something along the way the sound of silence gone this tone, this tone this tone, this tone it’s all inside my head this tone, i’m in a real dark place they’re wishing i was dead i can’t keep track of anything it’s all i fucking know i’ve been watching days of our lives with the volume down low this tone, this tone this tone, this tone it’s all inside my head this tone, i’m in a real dark place they’re wishing i was dead
2.
i’ve been sucked dry i’ve been erased i’ve been turned inside out this thing inside my skull has made it hard to fucking count i can’t tell who i can’t tell where i can’t tell what i am i certainly don’t have a clue if i’ll smile again it’s like they took my beating heart replaced it with a bomb now as i sit it ticks away and i just want my mom

split ends 01:02
it feels like there are two of me one and one and one make three but which one’s real and what’s it for can’t look in mirrors anymore home is a prison and a womb i can’t stay here it is my tomb but if i leave i might get dead i’ll just pull my hair out instead
4.
alive again 02:14
i found this band they really rock they get me i get them the music is a gift to me i feel alive again it’s been so long since i have felt that piece of my broke head their noise tapped right into my brain it seems i’ve made a friend that piece is back i can’t complain that peace is back no sad refrain that piece is back i feel alive again it’s like a high i’ve never felt except for those few times i skipped out on my medicine and took flight in my mind that piece is back i can’t complain that peace is back no sad refrain that piece is back i feel alive again my new best friend is there for me whenever i need him i just press play and there he is crawling through my skin
5.
thanks too 02:07
i feel so full i’m one whole piece and i’m free from the pain it’s all thanks to my new best friend his songs have made me sane division and distraction have subsided and i see my vision’s clear, there’s one true path i’ll play and drive and be it’s worth the struggle now because i control my goddamn brain it’s time i showed those fuckers that i’m not fucking deranged thanks to my friend he is the best we’re gonna rule the world we’re gonna get just what we want meet all sorts of nice girls
6.
I miss you 02:04
i miss my bud i haven’t seen my pal in oh so long he hasn’t returned my response i wonder what’s gone wrong my head aches worse and worse each day i do not hear from him the minutes pass and my brain splits at best my 'tude is grim and i miss you and i want you there with me and i’d kiss you if you’d just tell me i’m cool yeah i miss you it’s kinda funny to admit i know that we just met but jesus christ i can’t help it i know you know me best yeah i miss you where did you go where have you been i’ve got so much to tell i’m stranded out in my own skull it’s putting me through hell and i miss you and i want you to be free but i miss you and i want you to be me i miss me

nevermind you had it right you’re always so smart i get so caught up sometimes i get so torn apart but those little things you do to me they all mean so so much i guess now more than ever i just miss your touch
10.
i’m spitting blood i’m locked in bed i went too far i cracked i’m scarred it’s not fear i’m self-aware i wish i didn’t fucking care i’m not dead at least i said i paid the price your call was nice i crashed the van i killed a man i’m still your biggest fucking fan

about

In the search for meaning that defines human life, nothing is more terrifying than actually finding what you’re looking for.

The ROBO SAGA EP presents this haunting truth in ten songs about a young man and his favorite band, and the apocalyptic consequences of his fanaticism. It’s a shame that we hold so tight to those things which set us free, isn’t it?
