    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.

about

This is still probably the song I'm most proud of. I try to bring it back all the time then I remember why we stopped playing it. The ending is fucking awful. I keep forgetting to rewrite it and bring it back.

It's about someone who I got really close to very quickly. We seemed to grow apart even faster. I remember going to visit them one evening and they were in their closet watching a movie. I carried on as we normally would to basically no response. As soon as they looked at me I could tell something changed. That look has been burned into my mind since then.

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
