December 16, 2023 Bad Little Seed
From the album 'deathdreams'
Written by Emily Whitehurst
Performed by Survival Guide
Produced, recorded, and mixed by Bob Hoag at Flying Blanket Recording
Mastered by Jason Livermore at The Blasting Room
LYRICS:
Place cards, centerpiece
She asks me what she did wrong
How disappointing
Gave it away for a song
Sticky floor, sticky beer
Smells like cigarettes here
Surrounded by dirty men
And I’d do it all again
Get out of this town and see the world
Take your life and do what you prefer
Get out of this town, go see the world
Breaking the rules and your heart
How did us girls ever turn out this way?
Breaking the rules and your heart
You gave us courage, you gave us strength
You taught us girls can do anything
We don’t have to wear the white dress standing at the altar
If we don’t want to now
Do you regret it all?
Wish you’d kept your words small?
I’m on my own road
Where it ends up, I don’t know
CHORUS
Joy won’t shelter you
You can’t eat your dreams
What a bad little seed
Who just wanted to be free
CHORUS

December 16, 2023 Sour Sorrow
From the album 'deathdreams'
Written by Emily Whitehurst
Performed by Survival Guide
Produced, recorded, and mixed by Bob Hoag at Flying Blanket Recording
Mastered by Jason Livermore at The Blasting Room
LYRICS:
It’s so embarrassing to admit that I still feel sick
When our song comes on the radio
Flavor’s bitter like vinegar but you’ve been with her
For ages now, I know
I’m so tired of pining over you
If there was something I could do, I would do it
Parting is such sour sorrow
The taste you left with me
It’s a real tough pill to swallow
So hard to believe that it’s just
Sour sorrow
Sour sorrow, now it’s just
Sour sorrow
When will this feeling leave?
I used to think I was oh so strong
I was never wrong
Never let a man get me down
Salty memories make my skin burn
When will I learn to forget you now?
I’m so ashamed that I can’t be happy for you
If there was something I could do, I could do, I would do, I would do it
CHORUS
I told myself so long ago
Not to count on another soul
You tore my lungs out and let them go cold
There’s no use in saying it now
‘Cause parting is such sour sorrow
You meant the world to me
When we used to put on our show
Part of me believed
CHORUS

From the album 'deathdreams'
Written by Emily Whitehurst
Performed by Survival Guide
Produced, recorded, and mixed by Bob Hoag at Flying Blanket Recording
Mastered by Jason Livermore at The Blasting Room
LYRICS:
You are me and I was you
You think I’m glaring but it’s not true
Even if you just appeared, you’ve always been a piece of me
Same cloth, same blood, same tree
Same feet stomping rhythm with our stories
Let me bubblewrap you
Hide you from his eyes
I just wanna get you through these dangerous times
Pull you through the fire to the other side
You look like a fresh-baked pie
Their tongues are hanging out
Never forget that your machine gun is your mouth
Little sister, don’t you doubt, oh
I know you hate it when I tell you what to do
But it’s only because I worry they’ll steal the light from you
Just let me bubblewrap you
Hide you from his eyes
It gets me twisted up inside
To see you as a prize
CHORUS
Oh, fresh-baked pie
CHORUS

LYRICS:
All you gotta do is believe me
I love the way that you trust me
I love the way you put none above me
It’s your turn, prove that you love me
My words become your scriptures
Got the best evidential pictures
I know you better than you
Do you know how much I protect you?
You can’t say no to the brightest teeth in the room
You can’t say no when I slip a little bit of your blood
Into my perfume
Into my perfume
Just a little bit
Into my perfume
A bit of your blood
You wake, first thing wanna see me
I make it so easy
Just kneel and kiss my feetsies
That’s all you gotta do to appease me
So go and play the part now
I’ll allow you to feel smart now
You think it’s your decision
As you execute my vision
CHORUS
I will keep you safe
If you take my hand
Do not look away
Give me all you have

From the album 'deathdreams'
Written by Emily Whitehurst
Performed by Survival Guide
Produced, recorded, and mixed by Bob Hoag at Flying Blanket Recording
Mastered by Jason Livermore at The Blasting Room
LYRICS:
Looking at the clock
Telling me I can’t stop
I don’t deserve the rest yet
Continue on the quest
Did some things I can’t forget
I lay down only to charge, I got lucky stars
In the middle of the night
In the dark and quiet
Wishing I never had to slumber
I am always under the spell of the beam
What happens if I get there?
Will I dissolve into thin air?
Sharpshooter
What’s there to run from when it’s
All inside your head?
Sharpshooter
Every day is a sigh
Looking forward in time
Looking for the next chance to ride the avalanche
Or hitching on thunder
Wishing that I never had to slumber
I am always under the spell of the beam
CHORUS
Only the dead truly sleep
No wheels to keep turning, no grinding of the teeth
Only the dead truly sleep
They’re free from the power of the magnetic beam
CHORUS

December 16, 2023 Lady Neptune
From the album 'deathdreams'
Written by Emily Whitehurst
Performed by Survival Guide
Produced, recorded, and mixed by Bob Hoag at Flying Blanket Recording
Mastered by Jason Livermore at The Blasting Room
LYRICS:
She comes between us
But we can’t see it
Scratching with pins and needles
Saying the perfect words
Up overhead the vultures circle
We’re still a bit too fresh but
They won’t be waiting long
I can save us all if I die before I wake
Pray it’s not all a mistake as I go under
Soak me to the bone
No one showed me how, but now I know
I’m going under
What did we think was gonna happen?
When she crashed the party
No one told her she had to go
I don’t want to do it
But I know I’ve got to prove it
So here goes
I will fall into it and let go
CHORUS
Too late to turn around
My fate is floating down
And I’ll sink into the cold and dark
And I feel the slowing of my heart yeah
But when I rise, tear her world apart, oooh
CHORUS

December 16, 2023 wordswordswords
From the album 'deathdreams'
Written by Emily Whitehurst
Performed by Survival Guide
Produced, recorded, and mixed by Bob Hoag at Flying Blanket Recording
Mastered by Jason Livermore at The Blasting Room
LYRICS:
Is this the lion’s curse?
Solid gold your wordswordswords
Oh so many to rehearse
If I want to keep my head
(Why do I always feel like I’m on the brink)
Living in my house of cards
Thank my lucky stars there’s no breeze today
Burn me at the stake in town
I’m on shaky ground
There is only one way
Overpowered by my heartbeat
Drills in deep just like a cavity
Wordswordswords, smell of gasoline
Sound like buzzing bees
Can we put the petals back on the rose?
Don’t cut the thorns off, we need those too
Let’s remind ourselves that everybody hurts
And no one knows what we’re doing on this earth
Ten thousand eyes become one
Damage is done
I start to decompose
Threw myself upon the tracks
There’s no going back, every surface cold
Overpowered by my heartbeat
Drills in deep just like a cavity
Wordswordswords, smell of gasoline
Light the match for me

December 16, 2023 Fight Me
From the album 'deathdreams'
Written by Emily Whitehurst
Performed by Survival Guide
Produced, recorded, and mixed by Bob Hoag at Flying Blanket Recording
Mastered by Jason Livermore at The Blasting Room
LYRICS:
I’m not here to judge or challenge anyone
In fact I’m leaving out the back door
I can’t just choose a color
I don’t play well with others
Please don’t give me the score
We’ve got no spirit
We don’t wanna hear it
You may think I’m not alive
We’ve got no spirit
Can’t you hear it in my voice
And see it in my glassy eyes?
First it’s head to head, then eye for an eye
And they’re saying that it’s healthy
It seems very human
So I’m just assuming
There’s something wrong with my circuitry
CHORUS
Please don’t call my name
I’ll only let you down
Looking across the way
To some I’m just a void
A heart with a hole
And my temperature is icy
I get it on the surface
But what’s the real purpose?
Seeing red’s never fun for me
CHORUS

December 16, 2023 Don't Feel Bad
From the album 'deathdreams'
Written by Emily Whitehurst
Performed by Survival Guide
Produced, recorded, and mixed by Bob Hoag at Flying Blanket Recording
Mastered by Jason Livermore at The Blasting Room
LYRICS:
Who picks up smoking cigarettes as a full-grown man?
So much so that it changes the color of his hand
As the sun shines all around him, he stews into rage
Shoving glass into his chest while shooting arrows of blame
You took advantage of the chances that I gave you
2nd turned to 7th, and the 8th time I forbade you
Don’t feel bad, cause he hates everything anyway
He hates everyone anyway, and especially me
Don’t feel bad, cause he hates everything anyway
He hates everyone anyway, and especially me
Her downy comforter is soaked in red red wine
The heavy weight drowns out her ghosts, but it blocks any light
As she opens up her mouth, poison pearls start to drop
And a scoop of frozen guilt is the cherry on top
CHORUS

December 16, 2023 Stay Dead
From the album 'deathdreams'
Written by Emily Whitehurst
Performed by Survival Guide
Produced, recorded, and mixed by Bob Hoag at Flying Blanket Recording
Mastered by Jason Livermore at The Blasting Room
LYRICS:
There’s a living ghost that’s haunting me
He doesn’t even know I can plainly see
I don’t drudge up the dead
Leave ‘em instead
Keeping all the stories straight in my head, no
Tries so hard, but I’ll always be free
I’m the statue and you’re the rain
Tears coming down my face, but my eyes look the same
And you can’t make me scream, oh no
And you can’t make me scream, oh no no no
Like a wind-up toy stuck on its side
You think you work so hard, but all you really do is lie
You’re setting me a trap
Guessing I’ll snap
Crawling on the floor, waiting for my scraps, yeah
I just watch as the fake blood dries
CHORUS
He thinks pushing me will bring us back together
But that world is gone forever, gone forever
And you can’t make me scream, oh no
And you can’t make me scream, no no
Never ever
CHORUS
