For the majority of 2012 Joel Faviere got to join Get Scared as their new lead, providing all the vocals for the EP 'Built for Blame, Laced with Shame'. But on Get Scared's official facebook the members declared that they missed Nicholas Matthews and their record label was dropping them. So, Joel was kicked out of the band and Nicholas returned Get Scared.
Throughout both of these bands (2010 on) Joel Faviere was always releasing solo work under the name Sew Intricate. To date Joel Faviere has released over 45 songs in his solo act with a new solo album planned for release sometime in late 2013 through his new label 'We Are Triumphant'.
Joel Faviere has also been a part of Deadbeat Diary, a 3 piece band, since August 2013 although nothing more than a preview of their first song has been released.

Joel Faviere Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I gotta do this type of thing if you're not in it
From the moment you were trippin'
What it was is what it isn't now
Please don't go on about
Bottlin' up the doubt
But now its all I'm sippin'
Flllin' up on whatcha thinkin' yeah
A broken heart and maybe a little bit bigger
Man you fucked me up for nothin'
They say everyone is someone to somethin' yeah
Heart on this sleeve for this love binge
Just take it or leave it
Just take it or leave it
God damn you do it so easy yeah
Oooooooooh
Its pullin' teeth just to forget
Youuuuuuuu
I haven't really ever slept
Oooooooooh
Its all them secrets that you
Kept kept kept kept kept
From meeee
So let me know if you're ever gonna visit
Just remember that it's both of us that did it
All the distance got me trippin'
Other boys got your attention
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Wooin' your heart like a movie
Watch you like a re-run
Forgettin' where you came from
What is love if you never fall up in it?
Stop and start til you break it all apart
Every minute's a disaster
And the moments that come after yeah
I'm pullin' teeth just to catch you, baby
Hello I'm busy, I guess it's that easy

The song "Mirage" by Joel Faviere is a heart-wrenching ballad about a failed relationship. The opening lines talk about how the person he was in love with never listened to him, and he had to make a tough choice to let go of the relationship. The lyrics talk about the confusion and pain he felt when his lover started to distance themselves from him, and he couldn't do anything to fix the situation. The chorus "It’s pulling teeth just to forget, I haven’t really ever slept, it’s all them secrets that you kept" expresses how difficult it is for him to forget and move on from the secretive relationship.
Later in the song, the lyrics reveal the lover's new attention to other boys, leaving Joel with a deep sense of loneliness. The line "Watch you like a re-run, forgetting where you came from" expresses how she forgets her past, including her relationship with Joel, leading her to a new love. The song finally ends with Joel being left alone, questioning, "Why do we keep going?”
Overall, the song dives deep into the pain that one goes through during a breakup. The lyrics create a vivid picture of the highs and lows of a relationship, from the joy of finding love to the confusion of its end.
