Everything will change in time I swear, I've seen it This shit can drive ya fucking mad When living like I did you learn nothing is sacred My only hope was finding quiet places I'm so alone I've been like this for so long and I spent my spring worrying I learned that sex doesn't solve anything Everything will change in time I swear, I've seen it Believe me it drove me fucking mad When living like I did you learn nothing is sacred My only hope was finding quiet places Mine's a porch on Avon St. where I Sit and talk with the neighbors every Thursday Now I'm not alone Haven't felt this in so long and I spent my spring worrying I learned that sex doesn't solve anything I've been waiting for summer, listen to Limbeck and read novels in peace every night Thinking of writing one myself one day, might be too ambitious Nothing feels more like freedom than seeing the pavement roll beneath my feet We haven't spoke in so long so I write to say "Hey, everything is great" Everything is great Everything is great Everything is great Hey, everything is great

Cool It Now 03:31
I know I can be too upfront Impossible standards make life difficult But while some would seek change I think I'll just stay the same Do you know what ya are? Cause I know what I am: Insecure but sincere And still edge after all these years What I say is what I mean There's nothing more attractive than honesty Come on girl, make me believe Oh, I've been dying to know are you ready to go? Just please let me know. Even after months of being out on the road (on the road) Still when my eyes are closed I'm haunted by your ghost On my right I got a dog and on my left an elephant To remind me (to remind me), to forgive. To forgive but to never forget Now I hear my old self begging "Please, just let me in" But I owe it to myself to rethink, everything again What I say is what I mean There's nothing more attractive than honesty That's why my friends keep telling me to Cool it now Buck, you better slow it down Watch out! I'm fucking losing control Oh, I've been dying to know are you ready to go? Just please let me know. Even after months of being out on the road Still when my eyes are closed I'm haunted by your ghost

I lie awake at night. You're fast asleep. Dreaming of the words to say We wake up the next day, still the same Are we proof that people don't change? It feels like we are She says "We're toxic in love" Feels like I've been waiting for this moment to come. Now Buck don't be naive if she wants let her leave For better nights for better sleep For common courtesy Now we both have these thoughts in our heads But we don't speak we write them down instead So I wrote a page She wrote a postcard Adressed from a place that I never want to be at again Again She says "We're toxic in love" Feels like I've been waiting for this moment to come. Now Buck don't be naive if she wants let her leave For better nights for better sleep For common courtesy Still waiting to hear You say you're fucking sorry For the late nights The bad fights Feels like I can't do anything right And I'm sorry, just say you're sorry She says "We're toxic in love" Feels like I've been waiting for this moment to come. Now Buck don't be naive if she wants let her leave For better nights for better sleep For common courtesy For common courtesy

It took a month and a half & The Format To "misplace" all our photographs But I've been doing better since Tune out the mistakes that you made Yes, I was betrayed So I built up a wall around me made of fictional brick And I'd think so much that I'd make myself so sick At the thought of you You could watch my heart Run in circles around yours Every time you'd wish me dead and gone I'd be right back on your porch I touched your face then put my mouth on your lips My heart weighed me down just like that anchor on your hips and you said "Baby, I made so many mistakes. You stood by my side holding off tidal waves and I'll prove that I'll love you (I love you) balloons or no balloons" You could watch my heart Run in circles around yours Every time you'd wish me dead and gone I'd be right back on your porch We laid on your bed and I took my finger and turned it into a pen I wrote on the small of your back: When will I learn my lesson? and why can't I just get over you? You could watch my heart Run in circles around yours Every time you'd wish me dead and gone I'd be right back on your porch You could watch my heart Run in circles around yours Every time you'd wish me dead and gone I'd be right back on your porch This took a month and a half & The Format.

So I sit in the backseat Legs crossed, eyes closed, head back So I sit in the backseat Legs crossed, eyes closed, head back One finger at a time, sneak your hand undermine These fingers grip our palms touch Kiss my shoulder, move past my collar From my neck to my cheek, to where our lips finally meet We could stay here forever Should I stay here forever? What's that game that we play? "Don't talk to me for several days"? You set fire to all that you touch I never wanted to care this much, this much And I think: "Get through this summer and we'll be alright cause I don't want you to change. I just want you to try" Should I stay here forever? Sat down to Defend with Valente We got talking 'bout life kid gave me great advice "You can't hold on too tight, you can't mold 'em, ya just can't man. Ya fuckin' can't man, ya can't man." What's that game that we play? Don't talk to me for several days? You set fire to all that you touch I never wanted to care this much, this much And I think: "Get through this summer and we'll be alright cause I don't want you to change. I just want you to try" Should I stay here forever? Paul says "Don't mention control.", but I have none. Cory tells me to "wash my hands", but I'm not done. No I'm not done. So I sit in the backseat Legs crossed, eyes closed, head back

about

"Fast Attack. Slow Release." is about a time in my life where I was stubborn, naive, and stupid. A year of my life was wasted to a person who continually took advantage of me. I have never felt more ups and downs than I did during that year, but I also never have learned more about myself, relationships, and people. People are capable of terrible things. People will lie, cheat, and steal while at the same time telling you that they "love" you. I was too stubborn to listen to my friends and family, I was too naive to realize that I was losing myself, and I was too stupid to believe my own eyes and ears. The only person who could save me was me.

"Fast Attack. Slow Release." tells a story and is meant to be listened to from beginning to end. Please download this EP for FREE and share it with as many people as you'd like. It is our gift to all of you for being so supportive to Mr Fyner and the Tech Ed Room as a band, and me as an individual.

Thank you.

-Buck
