In August 2017, several people came forward with accusations of sexual assault towards the lead singer, Chris Clavin, leading to a short hiatus until late 2019. Bands he had collaborated with condemned his actions, renouncing their work on Plan-It-X Records, and vowed to remove Clavin's work from future printings of split albums.

they're afraid of what you might break
they're afraid of what you might take
and they're afraid that you're freak out
but most of all they're worried about the message you might make
they don't want a mess they don't want to admit
that there are things beyond their control
but if they look into your wild wild eyes
they don't wanna know
they can't take it, they will call you anymore
that's why they don't call you anymore
When you got o the hospital
well you're gonna have to do it on your own all alone
you get arrested and they take you to jail
your friends will have to come to visit you
and they will pay your pill
'cause they don't wanna see how easy you can seek their .
that you might trag around
it could be down looking out to those bars
and that's why they don't want you around
They all wished you to get well
but they sure is held on want you
or they don't know how to hold
they are afraid that they might catch what you got
and it's scares and to deathly here you're talking to yourself
they're afraid that those voices in your head might spread
into their own
they all know that we hang by a thread
and it's so easy to let go
they don't wanna lose their homes so they don't call you anymore
that's why they don't call you anymore
They all miss you when you're gone
they all say that they don't know what went wrong
but deep inside they all know
we all knew or you were going in
we all let you go
now I've got the time, and now I've got the guts
but you're not picking up the phone
and it's way too late to call you anymore
yes way to late to call you anymore
The song "Disconnected" by Ghost Mice goes into great detail about the struggles that come with being disconnected from society. The lyrics talk about how the singer has lost touch with friends and loved ones due to their mental instability. The singer feels isolated and is struggling to keep it together within their mind, and this feeling has led to their disconnection. The music itself is slow and mournful, and the tone further accentuates the sadness that comes with disconnection.
The lyrics delve into the idea that society is afraid of people who are different and struggle with mental illness. The singer is viewed as a threat because society views them as unpredictable and potentially dangerous. Society's fear causes them to shun the singer, not wanting to be associated with them. The lyrics mention how society is afraid of the message that the singer might share when they are unstable, and they're more concerned about the things that are beyond their control.
