“Not Coming Back” is an unreleased song that has been performed by Rossen during solo shows. Rossen wrote in the SoundCloud description of the song:
It’s not exactly finished, the lyric is rough, but I still enjoy what it is and eventually this song lead to other tunes on the EP and on Shields that...
Have you lost your mind?
I was miles away
I was miles away
Or did you find it?
They were not around
Not a soul for miles
When you returned
Couldn't say the word
Couldn't speak a sound
When will you come home?
Not until I'm done
Not until my name turns into dust
So, you're not coming back?
So, you're never coming back?
Well, you're easily forgone
Find the words to your last bitter song
And get it off your mind
Get it off your mind
Reaching on, past these dark busted towns
Lazy down the line
Still, they line the road
What's to say this is all we've got left?
Let it lay a while
Let me lie in rest, down in the dust
No, they're not coming back
No, they're never coming back
They're not easily forgone
Not Coming Back was written by Daniel Rossen.
