    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

You know when you're a kid and someone lights a candle, your first instinct is to touch the flame. Once you get burned good enough, you learn that you shouldn't touch the flame.

This song is about someone who would repeatedly stick their hands in front of a blow torch.

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
