Availability
The Wonder Years have released their 3 songs from the EP on their 2013 compilation Sleeping on Trash: A Collection of Songs Recorded 2005–2010.
The Emergency & I songs do appear on their Myspace but are no longer playable[3] most likely due to MySpace losing all songs uploaded prior to 2015[4]. No backups of these songs have surfaced.
Sadly Emergency & I's singer and guitarist Michael Pelone passed away in 2010 due to an overdose[5][6]. A memorial post made by Emergency & I's drummer and Michael Pelone's cousin Joe has revealed some possible lyrics to 'Hospital Songs'[6].

Possible Hosital Songs lyrics
And I’ll take what is given to me
And I’ll realize I'm not going home
And after a while, when all of your currency’s gone
And after a while, when all your mistakes have been made
You’ve tasted the carbon dioxide.[6]
