Think I'll go insane if I don't leave this place The girls sucks and my friends are two-faced, Gotta get away before I die, need to get a job, but i got no degree, need to go to school, but i got no money, maybe I'll just be a bum, But I can't sleep at night, with all the things that give me frights, I wanna make it big but I suck, I wanna save the whales, who gives a fuck, Maybe I'm in over my head. I think the world is ending everyday, My mom and dad think I am gay, Oh no, which one to believe, But I can't sleep at night, with all the things that give me frights, Gotta get away Gotta get away Need to leave today Need to leave today Can't go away I'm gonna stay gotta leave today gotta go away cant get away cant get away I'm gonna stay I'm gonna stay

Somebody shat in the pool, Who could it be? Somebody shat in the pool, Time to call the police. Pool defecation is a serious crime, Get caught squeezin, you'll do some time, Drop your load, Better split, Cause our community pool, Don't need more shit! Somebody shat in the pool, Happens every summer, Somebody shat in the pool, It's such a bummer! Pool defecation is a serious crime, Get caught squeezin, you'll do some time, Drop your load, Better split, Cause our community pool, Don't need more shit!

Rendezvous 05:54
Infants of doom are bound to crawl Black cats scratching on the wall Satan's laughing down the hall Curtain of black slowly falls Your body starts feeling cold The walls start seeping mold Death has got you in his hold And you feel like you've grown old I've got these night terrors following me I can't seem see So please help me if you can I am the Devil's right hand man

Hipster Girl 05:26
She wears combat boots, And high wasted shorts, She hates the beach, And organized sports, She's a hipster girl, The only one in the world, She's a hipster girl, Dealing with the first world, Her favorite band, Is the smiths, She also smokes, A lot of grits, She may be vegan, A little feminist, Don't insult her beliefs, Or she'll be real pissed Chorus She drinks PBR, Clad in rock n roll tees, Attending underground shows, Collecting vinyl LPs She's got her vinyl LPs I've got my MP3s She's got her vinyl LPs She's got her vinyl LPs Chorus x 2 I love her so

Do you wanna get out of here? cuz the night is young and the wolves are closing in, Do you wanna? Do you wanna? Do you wanna get out of here? cuz the waters warm so let's go for swim,

about

This album is an exploration, reflection and response to being overwhelmed with life, girls, the local music scene, drugs, love, death, friendship and living in the moment. Eric wrote most of the songs around two years ago and they were his first in his ever growing portfolio. He is very happy to finally acquire a good group of guys and get these tunes out there!

The meaning behind the title of the album is that: upon review of all the tracks, we realized that almost all these songs followed this "formula" throughout the records entirety (verse, chorus, verse, bridge, ridiculous guitar solo, quiet verse, Big chorus). The songs also deal withy a variety of concepts that all relate to the uncertainty and forsaken feelings of early adulthood in Orange County or a "formula" so-to-speak for failure, or success.

The recording process took a total 5 day sessions. The first part was the live tracking of the bass, drums and rhythm guitar at a rehearsal room in Lake Forest. We cranked out all 8 tracks in the time we rented the room (3 hours!!!). The rest of the tracks or overdubs were recorded in the ever-so-roomy bedroom of Isaiah Rolow. We would like to thank his wonderful landlord Karen for allowing that to happen and Rob from Stage One for hooking us up with all the mic stands for the live tracking!

We would like to thank Isaiah Rolow for his countless hours of time and dedication to making this record possible. It would have not been possible without him. He is the man and is an awesome friend to have on this journey!

We hope you enjoy these songs and take something away from them chances you can relate. Thank you for listening!! Be good to one another!
