1.
this epitaph is all I dream through all those nights spent without sleep. this stagnant pace will never last, the pain we hide within our past. I wonder when these moments end, content facade is my pretend. wrists have watched scars heal with time, each silver mark serves to remind. you said shit would get better, it only ever stays the same. you said shit would get better, nothing good ever stays. you said shit would get better, all I have are bad days.
2.
all I can see breeds misery, even these dreams. silence suffocates, I scream. alone above the raging sea, I feel this aching heart envelop me. I tempt till toes tip over the edge. I am begging death. there's comfort in crashing instead. better than wishing I was dead. watching the fire burn low, as this absent heart burns slow. I fear my eyes are giving me away. and I fear that I'm not here to stay. a terrible waste of a wonderful life. just waiting to die. there's comfort in crashing instead. better than wishing I was dead. watching the fire burn low, as this absent heart burns slow. I will sit I am alone. only you could hold me home. knowing brevity hurts. losing you was worst, I lost myself.

Booze Cruise 01:49
though I can't bear to see what you bred into me, this existence is suffering. I will always resent my choice to exist, tempted I will resist. I will fall short of it all, you expect too much, it's all too much. Let me leave. I can't breathe. Can't you see that I am drowning. This pain it weighs my chest, I sit and wonder how long is an instant. Razor vertical this time, I will not rewind. I dream of brevity, to find my ending, to silence my head I beg death.
4.
Gnarbage 02:11
narrowed halls are closing in, these moments they will never end. through doorways that you walk inside, the first to find her without life. she and I traced the same, this mirror it will bring you pain. the haunted past you try and hide is wearing on your tired eyes. I have grown in this shadow, I am not enough. While you still see her ghost, I will never know love. your ghosts persist, I am remiss. my life my fault, nothing at all. I am complacent and displacing the problems that we hide. heavy anger clouds your mind, while I have grown nothing is fine. I have grown nothing is fine. nothing is fine. I have grown in this shadow, I am not enough. While you still see her ghost, I will never know love.
5.
you deserve every bad thing that comes to you. planted worms in my head pulled them out too. you deserve every bad thing that comes to you. I don't know how much more I could live through. Wish I could say that we should talk, wish I didn't think of you a lot. after all the misery, I always hated you and me. since then, I don't trust anyone. why would I ever open up? allowing more physical pain, until I'm fully drained. you knew you were telling a lie, said our hearts were on fire. I knew that I never loved you. how could anyone love you after all that you do? you deserve every bad thing that comes to you. planted worms in my head pulled them out too. you deserve every bad thing that comes to you. I don't know how much more I could live through.

about

‘Sick Sad World Survival Guide’ is a re-recording/re-imagining of a few of our older favorite songs from our first LP Gnarbage, along with a cover and a brand new song "Ionize My Enemies". This collection of songs comes from our early 20's, doing dumb shit, watching close friends pass away, holding each other through the worst and finding ourselves on the other side.

NOTE: red/blue split variant will benefit A Safe Place in Oakland, CA (www.asafeplace.org) and PAAR in Pittsburgh, PA (paar.net); two organizations fighting against sexual violence through support, advocacy, education, intervention, safe housing, mental and physical health services, crisis services and empowerment. We stand with survivors.


KEEP EACHOTHER SAFE, ALWAYS.
