Story Behind The Song
Garbage was written to remind us that losing a moment because of fear is no way to live. Sometimes not everything works out and you end up in garbage, but losing a moment because of fear is a bigger loss.
Song Description
This relentless onslaught of power-chords, percussion and temperamental vocals encourages you to take risks more often without shame. This punk confessional is an experiential lesson everyone faces daily.

Lyrics
I'm trying to be honest
Trying not to think everything's a test
So when the day's upon us
Promise that i'll speak every chance I get
I put myself in garbage
with the thought
how deep can I really get
And some of the things it taught us
motivate yourself inspire everyone else
I made myself protector
sucking drying poison I hold in my heart
It helps me to feel better
admitting to putting it there from the start
But once I started changing
determination flaked like an old paint-job
And out on the fence we farewelled
Made no mistake, some inhibitions just get in the way
I'm trying to be honest
trying not to think everything's a test
So when the days upon us
promise that i'll speak every chance i get
I put myself in garbage
with the thought
how deep can i really get
and some of the things it taught us
Motivate yourself, inspire everyone else
Everyone else
I'm trying to be honest
Everyone else
I put myself in garbage
Everyone else
I'm trying to be honest
Everyone else
I put myself in garbage
