    These four songs make up the first American Nightmare release, a demo of raw Boston hardcore released at the band's first show on Feb. 11, 2000 in Portland, Maine. The release changed hardcore instantly, veering from the traditional positive, community based lyrics of fast hardcore to an inward, personal and depressing perspective.

    Recorded in 1999, the demo was originally self-released on cassette and then issued on 7" by Malfunction Records and has been out of print for the last few years.

    Includes unlimited streaming of 4 Song Demo via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Never thought the world was going to end
Always knew I'd come across your face again
Still healing broken hearts and holding broken bones
Singing ‘Taps’ off-key and breaking quiet phones
You don’t know what you’ve got until you're left all alone
See the strain in my bloodshot eyes
I'm a hollow box, empty as your lies
And I know I can't live
Because the price that I pay will be the love that I give
Nothing hurts like that look in your eyes
Fuck the day I thought love was more than a lie
I only die every day
Sit alone count the ‘no's’ of the yesterdays
Those seven days sure made me weak
And when I’m dead and gone
(Shed a tear, bless my memory)
But I can’t go on
All I want in these dying days is a breath of fresh air, and some sanity
But nothings ever good enough, so I'll take a sad song sure enough
The feeling I'm feeling is a feeling I've felt for far too long
The feeling I'm feeling is a feeling I've fought for far too long
