Peep Warren

Draft or demo tracks for two great bands, an alternative rock one and a pop-punk cover one.

My name is Peep Warren. I'm fifteen years old, and I play bass for a pop-punk cover band called KFC (), as well as bass, auxiliary guitar, drums, and vocals for an alternative rock-marketed band called The new season has brought the influx of two new memberships. I now play guitar, as is my dream, for two other secondary school bands, and . I started playing guitar at twelve, bass at thirteen, and I've been singing for as long as I remember. Oh yeah, and I can do a mean harmonica. In my spare time, I record acoustic tracks as drafts or demos for band performance, and I can write some pretty okay songs, although not for the genre I listen to the most. Cheers and enjoy.

Story behind the song

I'm just one morbid little fifteen-year-old. The weirdest things about people attract me. 

I wrote this song when I had nothing else to do, and it calmed my nerves when I played it because I happened to be angry at one trivial thing or another. 

Did you ever happen to have a lover who was obsessed with self-mutilation? Slashing of wrists, in particular. One of my friends agrees with me that this act may be a desperate outburst of wild and intangible emotion, but it is still incredibly 'savagely romantic.' 

There's some kind of unintelligible tragedy going on in the character's life, and she resorts to come into a state of oblivion. The concerned worries about how she hurts herself, because no sane person (and not like I am completely sane, mind) would want their beloved to hemophiliate all over the floor, but at the same time, think about how that hysteria and aura of frustration was what attracted them in the first place. 

It's entitled 'Burn' because burning skin, or putting ashes over a wound, would seal it and stop the blood flow. The first person cares about the third's welfare, but if she were the ashes, would she still have any purpose without wounds to close?

Lyrics

Let the cigarette burn out,
Its ashes blowing in the wind,
If my aim is on my side
They'll heal the slash wounds on your wrist;

Would you bleed for me
If it could prove that you're okay?
Would you live for me
If I could burn the pain away?

You'd wanna jump into the fire:
It's the most perfect way to die;
I hope you know that I am watching
Every night you sit and cry;

And so I wonder if you're
Something I would change;
Would I still be ashes
If you were any other way?
Where would I fly
If I not had a wound
To land, and there I'd burn...

I watch my fingers on my lighter:
Sparks of fire from butane;
These could aid in a combustion
To set your fantasies ablaze;

Would I grieve for you,
For every night you stayed awake
And you continued
To play those games with your switchblade?

...

Would I have the strength to put out this match?
Would I want to wipe the blood away?
