We intended on doing a 3 things with the material that went to creat this EP: (1) We thought "Bobby" and "Now" should be together as limited edition re-issue of our first release, (2) have "It's Over, There's Nothing" be released only on a compilation for PMP Records, and (3) the rest be used on a split CD with Drifted. Well that PMP compilation got pushed way back, Drifted decided like a month before our split would come out not to do it, and putting just two songs on a CD just started sounding like a really lame idea. We felt like we were "shit outta luck" as Jerome would always say, and that's how the title came about.
Adrian drew the cover with a little help from the EP's design person, Jen. He wanted to do the cover art and chose Calvin and Hobbes just because he really loves that comic strip (he actually has several books of the comic). The drawing is 0% traced. And we really hope the writer of the comic strip doesn't sew us. This is our first release where the lyrics are included.

7. The Start
I thought you would have figured it out by now
That I don't give a fuck about you
You think that I'm some kinda robot
That I can't think for myself
A machine listening to your every command
But no I'm not stupid like you
I can lead my own fucking life
I don't need someone telling me what to do
Bobby, I don't do things your way
But I sure as hell know I'll never be like you
Again you're babbling on about how I should lead my life
Telling me that every turn I take is going the wrong way
Because it was never the route you took in life
Because you were just too scared to go the other way
And that I wouldn't amount to anything because of my age
I'm not gonna take this crap
No I don't have to endure this anymore
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I see
People looking at me like I'm a freak
I can't be concerned with one thing
I need to be doing every single thing
When will they learn?
When will they see?
It's not about conformity
Brother killling brother
Father versus son
It's a race
That you can't get out of
The harder you'll try
The harder you'll fall
To realize you're in it all over again
I know what makes you want to roam
That desire to leave your home
It comes from the people inside
Sometimes you wish they would die
Why can't they understand
How much it hurts to withstand
All their ruthless blows to their own
They don't know
That it hurts more
When you don't let it show
They don't know
How much it hurts
When you try to let it go
They bring you so far down
When you're hanging out around
Even in front of your friends
They offer no helping hands
Do you know how much it hurts?
Do you know how much it burns?
If I mean so much to you
Then why can't you make me feel
The way you do?
Another day that you're not here with me
I really don't see the point in existense if you're not here
My whole life was building up to be with you
And now that you're gone
It's all down hill from here
What can I do?
I don't want there to be anyone else
What can I say?
To even make you think about coming back to me
There's nothing I can do
It's hopeless
It's over
There's nothing
Stuck sitting at home
And all I can do is hope that you'll pass by or even call me up
But you won't 'cause you don't care
You've already got someone else in hand
If say that I love you a million times
Will it even change a thing?
If I cut up my wrists and bleed myself to death
Will you even want me alive again?
I got your name
I got your number
I saw her face
I think that I fell in love with her
I'm going to fast
And thinking too much
Moving too slow
I'm thinking that this is enough
Honey, you're making my head spin
Honey, you're making my feet trip
Can you hear that?
My heart just skipped a beat
And then I could not stand the heat
I looked at her
She looked at me
I thought inside
Can this ever really be?
I asked around
And I found out
About your age
And now I can't go down that route
For so long I've been searching
For something good that seemed right
But this is wrong, and I think you know
You're not calling me back tonight
I thought she was the one for me
I was so blind to see
And then she broke up with me
She left me all alone
She left me on my own
I thought that she could trust me
But I guess she didn't see things that way
And now I don't know what to do
Where am I supposed to go now?
What am I supposed to do now?
How am I supposed to go on now?
I don't think things can work out this way
I need her
I knew it from the start
Things never turn out the way I want them to
This would be no different
Why did I think that they could change?
Smile 'cause it can't be that bad
Think of all the good times that you've had
Look back on them and remember
It really wasn't that bad
They told me from the start
That I would end up with yet another broken heart
I thought that I was used to it
Why did I think that I could deal with it
I gave her all that I could
Maybe she gave me all that she could
But that really doesn't matter
The only thing that does
Is that I was true to myself
And I know that I was
