The Stream (free) 02:32
lyrics

I remember when You said that if you whisper to the breeze somebody would hear you shouting out your hopes and dreams But isn’t it funny that the stream has never heard you cry As it picks you up, sweeps you away and swallows up your life Now you can fly your kite and you can plant your seeds But the rain keeps on falling while the water’s rising in the stream And your kite came crashing down And your seeds will never blossom because these flowers have all drowned They’re drowning. And you’ve planted your roots beneath the grass and fallen leaves You stand tall but when the wind blows you start swaying in the breeze Until that stream that once got you so wet Will uproot you and you’ll never see the sun again You’ll never see the sun again You’ll never see this sun again

Get Tough (free) 02:49
lyrics

This could be the end We may be bleeding but we’re still breathing And this could be the end Where you stare at your feet, swab the blood from your knees wondering why Everything has changed It’s the world that’s in bloom and there’s nothing kid, nothing left, for you to latch onto Time to get tough it was long overdue I’m done waiting For the world to come to This could be the end Of our old hearts so heavy and bitter And this could be the end Where our eyes feel a little bit lighter You can’t grow up in vein Watch the snow falling into the palm of your hand Wondering why you’ve never seen All the intricacies and content you can finally sing

Letters (free) 03:38
lyrics

And it seems These books don’t hold the answers I don’t understand the motions of the stage The spectacle it never mattered It’s this hunger This hunger keeps me fit for this cage Cigarettes light up the faces of the names I’ll soon forget As they smoke the inner recluse out of me Stained teeth mutter with no meaning, it reminds me of a time when ignorance is bliss once felt so serene And we can spend forever trying to remember when Tearing up still pictures just trying to forget I can tell by those silent eyes that apathy’s your answer All the blood stained letters housed in half open envelopes At least before you were bleeding you longed for something more You’re always looking for your voice down all these other people’s throats You’re always looking for an answer to these questions carved in stone You’re always looking to the sky when hollow nights get so cold You’re finally starting to think He has never heard your fucking voice

Reflections (free) 05:13
lyrics

Don’t lose face, get carried away, out there everybody’s watching, they can spot a trembling gaze You’ll dress in layers, put up your hair, careful not to spill your insides; you’re a sucker for the limelight You left with broken bones (I took the longer way back home) Pretending nothing’s wrong (You used to be much more convincing) Using strangers like mirrors trying to put your mind at ease But we both know your reflection, never brings you peace You can curse the ground, from your knees, but a gravestone holds no comfort to a widow when she weeps You can dry your eyes on other’s sleeves, but you’re just a glass they all can sip from, they indulge all knowing it comes cheap

about

I was almost down to no bands a little bit after the first EP so I decided to turn Wayfarer into a full project. For this EP I played all the instruments as it was going to be used to assemble a band. The first batch of shows we had basically a rotating line-up with the exception of Steve and I. It was the first time I had done something like that and looking back it was a lot of fun. The first 5-6 shows the songs were played a little bit differently every time as there were usually two new members hearing it and playing it their own way.

As sloppy as this EP is, I'm still pretty proud of most of it.
