It’s something I said Can we just be friends? Little nothing binge Don’t squeal revenge This is the minute that my lips tip into stuttering You caught me Running out of erasers when my words of love were up to pace I need this to end And I know that I’m running for back-up But my coat tail is tangled and the convict-ersation is catching up Took my coat off Said, "Come inside" Who’s the boy of your dreams Skittles, Chopin and sprite Warmed my lips for the night Slurred words as your guide Slurred words as my bible Words of love hide Words of love seek And love starts its drowning So just drown me if you are drowned So just drown me if you are drowned In the words I’m failing to ground I’m tired of two week apologies But fresh out of lasting love now I mix up this four letter noun Cause you catch me when my mind is out I just want to tell you my love lie My love lie (You’re drowning in my yoke And I want you to know it You’re drowning in my joke And I want you to laugh it off) I want to crack the yoke of the sun To illuminate my slips of the tongue I made a mistake and I’ll be one But, don’t tell me I’m immature when I just simply don’t give a shit About us It was something I said Can we just be friends? The message is useless And you know that I’m so sad for her Cause I’m instigating while were behaving I just cannot be friends I said, “Take your clothes off for the night Don’t be scared by my words It’s only me they’ll bite” Let’s move on from what I said Get your legs to spread Soon you’ll give me ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Words of love hide Words of love seek And love starts its drowning I always knew not to say I love you So just drown me if you are drowned (x3) In the words I’m failing to ground I’m tired of two week apologies But fresh out of lasting love now I mix up this four letter noun Cause’ you catch me when my mind is out I just want to tell you my love lie My love lie So just drown me if you are drowned In the words I’m failing to ground I just want to tell you I fucking lie When I tell you I love you

One Roof 04:20
Her tear glands once unbroken 
Poured a glass of tongue to the ones she did not need 
Mom was moving on so carelessly
 His masculine mask melts mascara 
Watch a glass man burst from the manic pressure of greed 
I'm waiting for her next solo stampede

 Let's start with where the anger started 
(Tell me please)
 And end with where he went retarded
 And I'm afraid to write about this
 Cause every single time 
I become a slave to the memories of one roof

 Seventeen years and one roof
 Until I caught you naked and that's the truth
 Seventeen years and one roof 

Said you'd open doors for me dear daddy
 Said you'd open doors and now the roof's blown off 
I hope you loved that whore dear daddy 
Cause she stole the place where I'd sleep it off 

Her fears are words not spoken 
Wish it all could stop 
 So I could hear her real story 
Open up and tell me mommy 
I have the other half of your heartache
 And when you get a chance pass the misery to me 
I won't allow any more crying

 Let's start with where the anger started 
(Tell me please)
 And end with where he went retarded 
And I'm afraid to write about this 
Cause every single time 
I become a slave to the memories of one 

While we find why we're angry 
I'll wish I was a fucking better son 

(right now) (x4) 

Let's start with where the anger started
(Tell me please)
 And end with where he went retarded 
And I'm afraid to write about this
 Cause every single time
I become a slave to the memories of one 

I'm known to bottle this up
 My tear glands broken overflowed the cup 
A lit fuse on this family bond
 You blew up the most kind-hearted mom  

Said you'd open doors for me dear daddy 
(A lit fuse on this family bomb)
 Said you'd open doors and now the roof's blown off 
(A lit fuse on this family bond) 
Hope you loved that whore dear daddy
 Cause she stole the place where we'd sleep you off 

Let's start with where the anger started
 And end with where he went retarded
 And I'm afraid to write about this because every single time 
Become a slave to the memories of one roof

Sex Addict 03:19
Tonight (can you please just) Wipe the crust away from my eyes (I think I need ya) Waking up is not feeling wise Can someone wipe the lust from my eyes? So, fucking wheel me out on a gurney Desert me On all the bridges we built and burn them I’m burning Thought I was in But, didn’t know in’s where they’d turn me Woahhh I didn’t know in’s where you’d turn me Never knew that all of you would turn me in Turn me in These flings burn me turn me in That’s why I become a sex addict again So I can stay young and have at it again Baby the night’s young When love is lingering and getting old Don’t let me think about How I threw our love away To be a sex addict I’m not a sex addict I missed the part where you missed me could this be another episode where I ditch the other half of my heart-ache is speaking up Misery loves company Never really did I want to go But I just kind of had to Did I tell you that I lost myself on the road? Or did I not really have to There’s a part of me that looks at all the parts of me Leaving just a partial me to analyze the parts of me How can I make you understand? Your eyes churn me from within They see me become a sex addict again So I can stay young and have at it again Baby the night’s young When love is lingering and getting old Don’t let me think about How I threw our love away To be a sex addict Let’s be honest I’m trying to cover up our past But my covers are on them Be all that you can Just know that my silence is on your side Our shared heartbeats lied when they died Take a seat where our hearts used to beat Or meet me on the other side My heart valves untied My arms open wide

On that summer day we met You redefined best friend now you’re a silhouette And it’s so scary how we act the same Fast forward 7 years and you jump in front of a train I wish I knew what you were going through Cause I was probably going through it too Should have called me twin what a twist Guess phone tag and really lonely minds never mix Last time I Saw ya told ya I was fine I shouldn’t have lied We’re in this battle together Wish you could see where you stood in this world Hundreds of people would die for you I try to put words on growing up but it never works Had a best friend fly away So I’ll join a band to seem all fine and dandelions But, I’ll be honest cause’ this one’s for you There’s days I can’t see five feet in front of me There’s days I thought I was out on the hunt for me There’s days I thought everyone had a gun But, you figured it out for me This is the moment where it all changes I’ll live the happy life you wanted me to live (x2) If only you had known that I went completely insane (As well) But, you couldn’t see through your eyes, so How could I expect you to see through mine? We were blind to the fact we were blinded by growing pains But, you couldn’t see through your eyes So how could I expect you to see through mine? I try to put words on growing up but it never works Had a best friend fly away If only I could fly to you I couldn’t see through your eyes Because I couldn’t see through mine I would have helped you if I could focus through my hazed eyes

High School 03:13
The car broke down
on this underground avenue 
It was the first time that I was alone with you
 (Can we do) 
The unpredictable 
(The unpredictable when nobody's around)
 And break our phones 
(Bit through my lip and have been bleeding on your thong) 
Cause time is running out as were suffocating in the fumes 
(With you)

 If only I knew 
what happiness was
 Then I would have 
Not-a been so stupid 

Meddling for love in all the
 Dirty opportunities I'm hoping that you tune into this
 To every single girl that I hit and don't miss 
This is my chance to admit
 This is my chance to admit
 Tune into this 
Infatuation is contagious

 When I was in high school 
I was looking, gearing, rearing for love
 Thought it would change but didn't know what it was 
Now I'm out of high school
 Still the same gotta change my train of thought
 Cause love can catch you but it can't be
 Caught

 Oh all I know is love won't be the same

 I reached the peak, spoke an avalanche
 You couldn't speak up 
 Buried in my words, I made you desperate
 But what's the fun in loving how to learn if you can't learn to love 
I'll never learn to love 
I swear I'll learn to love 
I'll never learn to love 

For the moment let's inhale the smoke of teenage youth
 Let's be less than ruth 
For all we know this could be our last day

 I'm already contagious with infatuation 
I know it's such a sin its just the way I love
 (You're ruthless) (x2) 
I'll make you addicted
 You are addicted

 When I was in high school
 I was looking gearing rearing for love
 Thought it would change but didn't know what it was 
Now I'm out of high school
 Still the same gotta change my train of thought 
Cause love can catch you but it 
it can't be caught

Dive in bed phone a friend to help you Find one answer to all your problems Can’t you see your Desperation Can’t erase from Can’t erase from This is after freshman year you found your Convenient group of university actors Can’t you see your Friends are leaving For their next audition And this song’s not for everyone’s understanding And neither are the other ones on the album It’s just me venting out the habits that I can’t stand And if you can’t relate then buy another album We’re falling in love with shots at falling in love We wish we floated in silence and didn’t try so damn hard My body’s been over-schooled and yet my mind’s unaware Just tell me it’s not a habit I’ll tell you you’re a liar See a counselor he’ll tell you that its alright And you can think your way out of all your problems Take a pill, search google till you can’t sleep And play a phone game of cop and thought robbers Avoiding every situation that you can’t beat Will never change all of the reasons that you hate yourself Just be bold when their hands hold ya And tell you that you can’t change We’re falling in love with shots at falling in love We wish we floated in silence and didn’t try so damn hard My body’s been over- schooled and yet my mind’s unaware Just tell me it’s not a habit I’ll tell you you’re a liar We’re falling In love With falling Victim And we’re artists In line To make something Worth dying for We’re falling in love with shots at falling in love We wish we floated in silence and didn’t try so damn hard My body’s been over- schooled and yet my mind’s unaware Just tell me it’s not a habit I’ll tell you you’re a liar You’re a liar

about

Tell Me It’s Not a Habit is the first EP from Philadelphia quintet, Trust the Medic. The band formed on a Fall evening in 2011 when Billy Hauser (the vocalist) was playing an acoustic set on the sidewalk of Temple University and caught the attention of Mike Porreca (the guitarist). After only a week of knowing each other, they started jamming every day. Mike knew of a talented guitarist (Clinton Tustin) who also went to Temple University. As soon as Clinton heard Billy and Mike’s chemistry, the rest was history. This EP is a perfect concoction of melodic, post-hardcore instrumentals and impressive, sassy vocal work. Drawing influences from a wide range of genres including: pop punk, progressive metal, pop and hardcore, Trust the Medic brings a refreshing, tasteful new sound to rock and post-hardcore.
