I'm Not Alone is an EP by American rock band Patent Pending. It was released on September 21, 2010. It spawned two music videos for the song "One Less Heart to Break", which is an anti-suicide rock song, and for "Dance 'Til We Die", a song that has been described by lead singer, Joe Ragosta, as Being about "...zombies eating peoples brains". Both of those songs were later re-used as bonus tracks on the band's next album, Second Family.[1]
