Writing

Using the track "End Time" as title track of the album was vocalist Kevin Sharpe's idea. Bassist Dan Lilker wrote the lyrics for the song "Twenty Bag": "It's about when we ran out of weed while we were writing. Semi-humorous, but actually quite important. [...] I wrote lyrics about how we do what we do."^[7] "Control Room" with "a whole bunch of loops and weird, noisy stuff"^[8] is the work of drummer Richard Hoak; Lilker and guitarist Erik Burke didn't perform on this song. The track is too long to fit on the vinyl version of the album.
