Taken 10:32
This is what it takes for you When you put me on your shelf You can pack it away You can keep it for yourself There's one thing you've forgotten And that's where I stand But I'm losing ground Since you've taken my hand You've taken everything that's mine Tried to give me what's yours But I don't want it I do not want it I do not want it I do not want this I do not want this I do not want you I do not want you I do not want you I'm taking it back I'm taking it back I'm taking it back I'm taking it back - Robert Traxler

This isn't living This is only wasting time There is no looking forward Since I pushed my faith aside I don't know what I'm doing now Any more than I did then Demands are made that I can't comprehend Can't you see it's just a matter of time Before you realize your mistake? Now I'm being dragged under I wish I'd never seen your face Why did I think that I could put these doubts to sleep? Why did I think there's be an end to this routine? How could you give yourself to someone else so fast? What made you think that it would last? The feeling survives after the memories die It was the best day of my life - Jacques Granger

Uncurable 06:55
Embrace the enemy, the only one you know There's no end to this, there's nowhere left to go There's the other way, it causes misery No more trying, there's none left inside of me Here before me lies the axe that plagues my life A beer, a cigarette, an old and tempting life Heart it pounds and the sweat pours down my face You will run away but I will never chase - Keith Pike

Unrepentant, your promise Still broken, still hollow Still bleeding, my sorrow I keep waiting for tomorrow What I thought was black Was only gray Shadows calling for me None to walk away Rehearsed motion, without feeling Lying in bed, staring at the ceiling Afraid of finding I've been dreaming And I'll awaken cold and screaming There is no in between There is no gray line Black is black There is no white Now it's dark - Paul Blanda
5.
As far as I can tell It's all over now What to do but wait As the years run out If I could stop your talking I might some get some rest If I had learned what to refuse Then this would never have progressed I doubt I've never cared less You'll never bring me down again This was a bad idea In a history filled with them I know that I'm in trouble I know why this is wrong I say I'd like to see you When I mean I'd like to see you harmed - Jacques Granger

about

This EP was recorded live to cassette in June of 2003 at Robert's parents' house. We used two room mics and one vocal mic.

Originally self-released as a run of 100 CD-Rs that we gave away at shows and local record stores.

We know and knew that the actual word is "incurable."
