Where are you Warped Tour Why have you left us Can't you see you were paradise for all the skate punks Where are you Warped Tour Why have you left us We beg you to come back Since you've been gone the world has gone nuts Where are you Warped Tour Where have you gone to We could use a circle pit to heal all of our wounds Where are you Warped Tour Nowhere to be found No place for skate punk, emo, metal, hardcore, or ska now

Another day of wasted hours Should I get dressed Should I shower Home alone I'm unproductive this off-season No I can't quite find the reason Fucking no I'm burning out at 27 Is this hell or is this heaven Let me know Turn the amp up to 11 It's just seasonal depression Let me go I'll throw the towel in Throw my back out Can't even force myself to work out All alone What's this bullshit known as purpose We work ourselves until we're worthless Unbeknown I'm burning out at 27 Is this hell or is this heaven Let me know Turn the amp up to 11 It's just seasonal depression Let me go I'm burning out at 27 Is this hell or is this heaven Let me know Turn the amp up to 11 It's just seasonal depression Let me go

Walking backward Looking forward Turn a blind eye to the torture Of feeling the end The end of something good Time will mend things Time will break things Time can't always be between things Right and wrong Time can never change I'm looking for a happy end To a fairy tale romance I'm looking for a perfect song That could right this wrong And could prove to you That my words are true Constant feeling Endless reeling Space between the floor and ceiling Collapses in My heart can't win your love Chasing daydreams Chasing daydreams I can't win your heart oh it seems Time has past Your love will not come back I'm looking for a happy end To a fairy tale romance I'm looking for a perfect song That could right this wrong And could prove to you That my heart is true I'm searching for a happy end To a fairy tale romance I'm searching for a perfect song That could right this wrong And could prove to you That my love is true

Another day of wasted hours Should I get dressed Should I shower Home alone I'm unproductive this off-season No I can't quite find the reason Cause unknown I'm burning out at 27 Is this hell or is this heaven Let me know Turn the amp up to 11 It's just seasonal depression Let me go I'll throw the towel in Throw my back out Can't even force myself to work out All alone What's this thing that they call purpose We work ourselves until we're worthless Unbeknown I'm burning out at 27 Is this hell or is this heaven Let me know Turn the amp up to 11 It's just seasonal depression Let me go I'm burning out at 27 Is this hell or is this heaven Let me know Turn the amp up to 11 It's just seasonal depression Let me go

about

I got lost in the depths of YouTube and found myself watching a bunch of Warped Tour videos (Reel Big Fish, Big D & the Kids Table, Relient K, Pink Spiders, Say Anything, Motion City Soundtrack). The spiral inspired the title track of the EP. I resurrected some tracks I had written in the past and dusted them off to complete the project. My hope is that this EP will inspire some moshing, crowdsurfing, and camaraderie in the spirit of the Vans Warped Tour.

Looking back, my trips to the Warped Tour have been highly influential in my musical taste today. They say that the music of your youth never leaves your side, and I'm living proof of it. I ended up going to three years of Warped - two in Cleveland, one in Buffalo. The list of bands I sought out is long: The Academy Is..., All Time Low, Angels & Airwaves, Anti-Flag, Aquabats!, Ataris, Bad Religion, Beebs & Her Money Makers, Big D & the Kids Table, Gin Wigmore, Meg & Dia, Motion City Soundtrack, Oreskaband, Paramore, Pink Spiders, RDGLDGRN, Reel Big Fish, Relient K, Say Anything, Streetlight Manifesto, Tonight Alive, Wallpaper., We the Kings, 3oh!3.

All in all, I hope these songs fill you with some angst. They were loads of fun to write and record. Maybe someday I'll have the opportunity to play guitars this loud in public! One can only dream...
