REUSABLE GARBAGE 02:52
lyrics

Don’t you Try to Tell me That I can’t Put a price on purity Skeptic Be converted I sold the ring That she gave back to me I grew sober on your love But pain is one hell of a drug My muse at the end I knew it all along You used to be a person Now you are just a song Parting Daggers She said We had fun I have only just begun I grew sober on your love But pain is one hell of a drug My muse at the end I knew it all along You used to be a person Now you are just a song

i DON'T WANT ME 03:05
lyrics

If they smell sorrow on you You’ll be shunned There’s no redeeming Hide your true feelings Love, I’m falling in reverse Every little bit hurts If your heart cannot take it Fake it ‘till you break it Jaded, they demand Idealism Divergent opinion Provokes suspicion Love, I’m falling in reverse Every little bit hurts If your heart cannot take it Fake it ‘till you break it Fire sale of my soul Pawning dignity away and Gaining less than I had before I don’t want me Oh no, he fucking didn’t No, you don’t get to slide We’re gonna lock it down Get out, stay outside This is a new communion This is a way of life We’re gonna swallow poison Every day until you die

DOOM SCROLLiNG 03:17
lyrics

This doom scrolling ain’t my favorite thing Makes me feel fake among the real Isolated and walled up in my brain Invalid in every way, everyday Wasting my time Wasting my life Burnt eyes, dead light All day, all night Slave to the screen, window to the queen But she can’t see back through it to me Dreams of how she could save me Only deepen my slavery Wasting my time Wasting my life Burnt eyes, dead light All day, all night All night Why do I keep doing this to me? Idle eyes idolize the freak Leave behind then rewind eternally

I thought you knew I thought you knew, I’m sure you do I gave to you It wasn’t much but it was true She thinks I’m cool She’s good at sex I’m just a tool She’s mad at her ex And I don’t care And I don’t care I’m lost It doesn’t really matter where I thought of you Thinking of you is all I do Half of two The greatest love I never knew She thinks I’m cool She’s good at sex I’m just a tool She’s mad at her ex And I don’t care And I don’t care I’m lost It doesn’t really matter where You are not there And I don’t care I’m lost It doesn’t really matter where

lyrics

Toss it up Choke it down Tried to give it up to you Shove it down Toss it up if you feel it Choke it down Givin’ up if you feelin’ Shove it down First to catch a pulse, now you gonna lose Body shots of dopamine, me and you Imma run away if I burn there too You can be the one who gets broken Toss it up if you feel it Choke it down Givin’ up if you feelin’ Shove it down You’re gonna wonder how it all fell apart Or you’ll see the end before it even starts Keep getting hurt ‘til you learn this Together only in sadness She thinks I’m cool Straight up front so cool Ice cold heart that’s cruel Can’t get hurt by you

SiAMESE NiGHTMARE 03:04
lyrics
buy track
A propensity to take things away Forcing limitations, trust decays Shall I carry this to my end? To prove I am a worthy man? Does that matter to you anyway? So you say You are too damn dependent on me to live You should not need my hand to stand Human error and folly in what I’ve done Convict me guilty of who I am Ooh, I do Drugs when I can I wanna feel This toxic downward spiral tightening Occluding empathy and reasoning You took everything for yourself Never a thought for anyone else Burnt out, loving and hating in vain I’ll drown this day Stomping, screaming, and crying for some reprieve You will not let this silence stand All I want is for you just to let me breathe All I want to do is just fucking sleep Ooh, I do Drugs when I can I wanna feel Ooh, I do Drugs when I can I wanna feel like I’m not here

OH COME, ALL YE DUMPSTER 03:11
lyrics
buy track
Did you know? You can be sad and horny at the same time Lady and the tramp on the same line Six six becomes six nine Love is a rollercoaster We’re all standing in line Filth ignites my dumpster fire life HARD AND IN AND UP COME AND SELF-DESTRUCT Sex is a gangbang If you subtract time Remember that when you remember me Is there a difference between blind faith and trying? Between temptation and prophesy? Feels, parasites Catch them if you like HARD AND IN AND UP COME AND SELF-DESTRUCT

about

The writing for this E.P. began in Iowa City, fall 2017. Our name was Pagliacci back then. We sketched guitar parts for 10 songs, intending them for an album to be called "The Fantasy Industrial Complex." Going into writing these songs, we wanted to explore what we might sound like as a grunge band.

Several songs had lyric ideas or rough concepts. Substantially, we were setting out to write the brutal experience of living single while digital.

We eliminated 3 songs from the initial 10, and reworked the remainder. It was summer. New ideas were forming. Old ideas were feeling expendable.

The balance was struck at 2 E.P.s.

E.P.s to compliment one another. EVERY LiTTLE BiT HURTS was written to be horny and sad. The other E.P. was to be about death and shit: THE SiCKNESS GETS WORSE.

A double E.P. or a split L.P., depending upon your point of view: EVERY LiTTLE BiT HURTS & THE SiCKNESS GETS WORSE. Recording of both was underway by autumn of '21. THE SiCKNESS had shaded much darker.

The subject matter of these songs reflects a period of our lives between 2014 and 2019 and, like everybody else, the lives we lived in that time no longer existed by autumn 2021.

EVERY LiTTLE BiT HURTS is an echo.

Thanks for listening.
