Michael F. Fucking great noise punk that would have thrived on Touch and Go back in the day. Superior to their kin, this is a top shelf sound.

Johnny KOC understands Gendo was a good, maybe even great dad. Just misunderstood. He was a dad to the world as one. Favorite track: Gendo Ikari Was A Good Dad.

Strap my ass to a rocket And shoot me into space I'm gonna fly through the sun And punch god in the face Cos there's too many people here And they're all too god damn cruel And I'm tired all the time And I don't know what to do Get up go to work come home do laundry and try not to cry Everything's so hard and confusing, why would you waste time trying to try? Do a line, smoke a beer, drink a butt, jerk off, and stare at the wall If someone else made us, he's the one that'll pay for it all

I know you think that it won't get better, but it will Those feelings are the claws that scuttle on your windowsill Sometimes you lose your rudder and sometimes you lose your speed So raise your sail and face it so that it'll catch the breeze Just try and do your best, man, that's all that you can do And I will help you, if I can In my condition We're going to make it outta here all right Insofar as anybody does The sun will rise and chase away the night We'll emerge born anew, drinking coffee, leveled up You've already got through the worst part of it It's smooth sailing from here on Things are pretty bad right now But you're doing great (It gets better, I swear) It's ok It's ok It's ok It's ok It's ok It's fine (you're doing great)

Move in secret Make yourself as small as you can So they don't notice, they don't expect a thing They'll be shocked when You show up in The dead of night Like an overdue bill come to collect I don't know if you're familiar with the woods this side of town Haints that take the face of friends and whisper words to lure you out I've seen ghosts in the trees I've seen eyes on the leaves Crows won't roost over me (when you're out and leave the whole world waiting) I don't know who to believe (for the time the world has willed you re-appear) All my friends are getting sober til they get bored of being sober All my friends are getting sober so where the fuck am I? Where did I go?

I see a lot of lonely hearts out there tonight I'm sure you'll all get home just fine But I'm looking for a ride Drop me on the outskirts of town I know these woods I know my way around I've been drinking myself blind or I been trying I've been lying to my friends Oh no I'm doing it again Give me some snowfall And a straw I won't have to leave this room At all

Cricket Song 07:04
Find me on the way down You know that I am uncomfortable Hissing like a cat that's backed into a corner A lobster and the water's getting warmer You like some forgotten god Patient and kindly Wading through these demons just to find me Gift me with a blessing Repeat it like a koan Tattoo it on the edges of my soul "We all are made of stars, but so is garbage." Well I think we've had a real nice time We've told some jokes We've shared some laughs And I wanna say that we've gotten to know each other pretty well By now So trust me when I tell you For most of my life I wanted to die or if not die just disappear Save everyone the trouble But I stuck around I'm feeling better now We all are made of stars, but so is garbage If you sit up on the house And look towards the trees I think they move in the breeze But I can't be sure What do you see? They get closer and closer every night They move when you close your eyes We all are made of stars, but so is garbage

Katie's son saw you there last night On the road out towards the mill Don't you know that kinda thing 'round here Is bound to get us killed? When the cops stopped you, what did you say? When the cops stopped you, who did you name? Keep my name Out your mouth You rat fuck Close your eyes
7.
When I get home I know you'll be there To wash it away, as if you were a wave And what no one tells you about falling in love is that It's like walking around with your heart outside your chest And it makes you feel strong It helps you rest You're the best thing that I got going for me And I think you'd agree that we make a good team
8.
We were never what you'd call saints Stealing drinks from in the cooler Stealing smokes for our breaks Sneaking out to my car to get high Not wanting to go back inside I didn't know you'd moved on from the Percs Til Mike broke the news while we were at work I hope that your mother and sister are fine I hope, wherever you are, your back feels all right To absent friends If the needle takes them Know the needle didn't win If their name's on your lips I know what it's like late at night When the fear creeps in your room and chokes your insides And I have doubted that I would see the sun But I have been able so far to hold on I don't think any less of you for going But I just wish that you'd stayed I hope that wherever you are you are glowing I hope wherever you are you don't feel any pain To absent friends If depression takes them Know depression didn't win If their name's on your lips They say you don't die until the last person you knew on the earth is gone They say you live on

Interlude 02:42
The rain outside makes it hard to see the lines on the street And you're driving home and you're all alone Don't know which roads to go on I'm waiting for a call, for a knock at the door
10.
Be quiet You make think you're alone But what's out here Can swallow you whole Your step can be treacherous They've laid out their traps And if they ensnare you You won't make it back I used to think That I would die But I learned to live Out here just fine Once you learn it's shape It isn't so bad Sometimes it'll get you But you can handle that There's people who live out here Just like you and I They'll offer you quarter A meal and a fire I know it seems Insermountable But it lies to you And it knows you well So it sounds like truth It's full of shit You've got to learn To discount it It's dark and it's cold But you're never alone I know it seems bleak I've walked through these trees I'll guide your way home Your feet must be tired Just a little ways to go ... You will get through this.

about

it’s bad, dude. was recorded by Joseph Campbell on the sixteenth day in the month of September in the year of our lord two-thousand seventeen at the Bartlett Middle School in Lowell Massachusetts. It was a pretty neat setup if you ask me, so feel free to bend our ears about that if you’d like. We did overdubs for guitars on this one, primarily in our piece of shit practice space in Littleton Massachusetts, where we also recorded the vocals. It was mastered by Tim Schmoyer at The Kitchen Sink in Santa Fe New Mexico. The artwork was done by Brian Morgante of Flesh and Bone design. Both Tim and Brian do exceptional work at an outstanding price and we fully recommend their services.

This is a record about getting better. I never thought it would happen for me, so I want you to trust me when I say; it does. We love you all very much. Thank you for your time.

It’s bad, dude. Be kind. Take care.
