“Dark Thoughts” Track Listing:

02. “Dark Thoughts” (original version)
03. “Dark Thoughts” (feat. Danny Worsnop)
04. “Dark Thoughts” (live at The Masquerade in Atlanta, GA, November 17, 2024)

Singer Lee Jennings commented:

“We wanted to put together something special and different that we haven’t done for the Coffin Crew. The other cool thing about this EP is that we are including the live version that we recorded at our first-ever town hall meeting in Atlanta. This marked our first sold-out show in our hometown.”

He also added:

“‘Dark Thoughts’ is a fun and energetic song meant to highlight our own mental health struggles. I wrote it about being diagnosed with OCD, I’m glad that more people can relate. This song is one of my personal favorites on the album. It’s deeply rooted in feeling trapped in your own head, like you have no one to reach out to who would understand or have an answer. It’s a statement both about the band and our fans. Depression, anxiety, and mental health crisis events are a ubiquitous experience for us, and the people who connect with our art. It can be such a terrifying and daunting task to try to overcome, but we hope that by connecting with others, we can support each other as a community in times when things seem the most bleak.”
