1. PIPE DREAMS

[Verse 1]
Degenerate things with our degenerate friends
Smoking too much and drinking from a bottle that never ends
Judging no one for nothing
Don't give a damn about who you are
Every one of us with something that left us with scars

Raise your glass
A toast to everyone like me
Product of judging and hate crossed environment
Pending on what everyone else believes

Always the hard way

[Chorus]
They say that we're dreamers
We curse at them they're wrong
Cause we've seen it, we've touched it
The very thing that keeps us from knots
With the weight of the world coming down from above your shoulders
And you're broke, and everybody knows it
But you don't want to expose it
With our pipe dreams, our torn jeans, our life scars
Don't need your bullshit cause we know who we are

[Verse 2]
Degenerates pressured with the need to fit in
Constantly put in a small box of comparison
But hey, we don't give a damn
We don't need a hand
We're doing just fine
Kick another can, sell another scam
Just to get us by
Always the hard way
And we've sold our souls to buy our days
Yeah we don't live like you
And we don't care about the things that you want us to

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Glasses up degenerates
Glasses up my friends
Here's to every piece of shit that's ever done us in
With our pipe dreams, our torn jeans
Don't need your bullshit cause we know who we are

Always the hard way

[Chorus]


2. HELLKAT

[Verse 1]
Yeah you're a vixen, oh what a looker you are
And you let me get my kicks in
With the mind to turn a seduction to art

[Bridge]
Oh lady don't you know
That there ain't nothing special with how your story goes

[Chorus]
Maybe it's the way that you lie
But then again, baby
Maybe it's the way that you wear those black dresses too tight
And I think it's the way that you talk
But then again, hey
Maybe it's the way that your hips
They seem to swivel when you walk
Yeah you're hot shit now but you wait til your flames burn out
And you gotta give it to the people that you promised to
You're hot shit now but you wait til your flames burn out
And you gotta answer to the people you're dishonest to
But you won't hang your head
Blame it on your good looks and ignorance instead
That you're not sorry for a god damn thing you said

[Verse 2]
HellKat, you know damn well that
Any of them would buy love but you don't sell that
You're a harlot playing hard to get
Swing your ass, I'll keep you wondering
Filthy little slut
Lies are showing through the skin that you've been covering up
Only wanting what isn't enough
Wouldn't matter if I was the one giving it up
Steady moving you're doing it right
The same thing you're telling yourself every night

[Bridge]
Oh lady don't you know
That there ain't nothing special with how your story goes

[Chorus]

You're not sorry for a god damn thing you said

[Chorus]

HellKat


3. DON'T SAVE ME

[Verse 1]
They say that I can't buy happiness
Then why the fuck did I pay for this pill?
If I'm absorbed in my recklessness
Why the hell don't I feel a single thrill?
And you can say what you wanna about the things I do
But I've never been one to, to push my judgement on you
I'm just looking for the next lift up
A couple hours to forget my sins, and my bad luck

[Chorus]
I've never been one to use
All the things that I once viewed as the easy way out
Now I open my mouth and commit this sad abuse
Don't you save me now
Cause my life doesn't hurt
And these drugs are how
You can't save me now cause my life is fucked up
And these drugs are how
Please save me now
Cause my body's in need
But my brain won't allow

[Verse 2]
Checking my pulse make sure that I'm still alive
I haven't felt pain in quite some time
Just to think I was afraid of the weight
My actions would put on display
There's nothing left that I can say
That would relate to a person living for the next day
Don't you save me now
Cause I've just now figured out
Just how much I can take
Without going down

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Yeah you can't save me now
You can't save me now
I know of something that can turn your problems into nothing
I know of many things that turn dead thoughts into something

[Chorus]


4. LAWSUIT AND TIE

[Verse 1]
You're the slack on a noose
A grown runner
A coward, nervous little twitch
I'd sooner slap the lips of my own mother
Before I let you make me sick

[Chorus]
Yeah you're a fuck without the lace
You're a race without the chase
Keep pushing papers in my face
That I won't sign
Yeah you said sorry way too late
And I needed somewhere to put my misplaced hate
And that's just how I put my mind
To this last line

[Verse 2]
I'm sick of selling things I have just to eat
When's the last time you couldn't figure out
How to get back on your own two feet
Take notes for when
Someone tries to do to you what you did to me

[Pre-Chorus]
So let the record show
That you took more from me than I've got
And everybody knows
That you're a piece of work and I'm not

[Chorus] (x2)

Verse 3]
I could go my whole life without
Ever hearing your name again
You could die and I'd watch
As I lean back with this Jameson
I hope you live a painful lie
I hope the reaper creeps up on you tonight

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus] (x2)

[Verse 4]
I see what you have in mind
A new herd of sheep to misguide with lies
Fuck your shrines
Fuck you for taking what was mine
Fuck your shrines
Fuck you for taking what was mine

[Chorus] (x2)


5. PUPPETEER

[Verse 1]
I bet you want me dead
I bet you'd rather see me with dirt above my head
I bet you tell everyone you meet
That you taught me everything I know
That's not the way that the story goes

So keep on swinging, keep your bullshit coming
And I promise you that I will hit the ground running
Towards your family, your friends
And everything you've ever loved
I swear to you, you won't be sorry enough

[Chorus]
Go get your matches
Yeah go get your kerosene
Keep spilling bullshit about things you don't mean
And the filth that you spit through the cracks in your teeth
It's more disgusting than the crust on your sleeve

I recognized this was a part of your plan
Controlling me like a puppet tied to your hands
You had me fooled when this had all just began
Keep sitting tall looking down from the thrown that's in your head

[Verse 2]
Tell me more about how you know who I'm supposed to be
These bloodshot eyes keep on showing me that you're a disease
(A heartless being)

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Puppeteer, pulling strings on everything that you get near
I bet you'd rather see me dead
Than to have my success fall on your head
Well I'm glad that I made myself clear
Puppeteer

[Chorus]


6. CHEERS TO THE DOWN AND OUTS

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm sick of losing out on life's bets
Putting lips to half smoked cigarettes
This is not a cry
These are just my thoughts on suicide
So this is the last time I'm giving you my all
And I'm predicting a landslide as you watch this coward fall

[Bridge]
Cause I've been afraid for so long
To show you who I am
Cause I know that you won't like me when I do
And I'm tired of being the pawn in their petty little scams
I'll be a bag of bones when they're through
I'll hold the door
Listen up for playback
They're wanting more but damn they're always saying that
I've been created right before your very eyes

[Chorus]
Well I'm sick of breathing just to fight this feeling
And I've grown tired with weary eyes
And I'm over the stealing
Of the things that I've needed
Well I'm admired but I wanna die
Cheers to the down and outs

[Verse 1]
A broken song
A broken home
Filthy habits and a name that nobody knows
Wake up every morning feeling like shit
And you try, and you try
But you can't help it
This is the last time I'm giving you my all
And I'm predicting a landslide as you watch this coward fall

[Bridge]

[Pre-Chorus]
Cheers to the down and outs (x3)
Cheers to every down and out like me

[Chorus]
Well I'm sick of breathing just to fight this feeling
And I've grown tired with weary eyes
And I'm over the stealing
Of the things that I've needed
Well I'm admired but I wanna die
Cheers to the down and outs


7. MY MOTIVATION

[Verse 1]
Scoot on closer lady
Be fully warned I'm crazy
Pop another tab, do another dab
And we'll make the show get racy
Yeah I know that the flow gets lazy
Here we go now the walls are hazy
Cop another cap, buy another bag
9 to 5 cause these hoes don't pay me

[Chorus]
But you're all my motivation
All you dumb little wild things
Yeah you're all my medication
Now let me hear you sing

Oh yeah I'm a bad man
Get in between your sheets any way that I can
Oh yeah look out for the bad men
They're the ones in the night living life like its about to end

[Verse 2]
They say that everyone serves a purpose
And you, you serve mine
And I don't know what I did to deserve this
But damn it feels fine
So just tilt back, kill that
Gimme what I want and let me feel that
Conceal that simple fact
So I can't give my guilt back

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
In the bright lights
Dilated eyes
Black pits
Show off what's in a fucked up mind
Auto locked and focused in
There's an itch under my skin
Adrenaline is kicking in
All thoughts to the wind
We don't need those where we are going

We don't need those where we are going
Adrenaline is kicking in

[Chorus]


8. THE LOWDOWN

[Verse 1]
Well I'm a low down sucker, a poor mother fucker
My life is a bit of a rotten cunt
But God damn you love her
Just so you're aware

[Pre-Chorus]
I've got nothing to offer you
But a good time and a crooked attitude

[Chorus]
Sweat drips from skin
I see your muscles itch
And then I pull on your hair
Ain't that a rough one, bitch?
And you know I've been around long enough
For me to know your type
And I know what it means when you bite
And if I wanna blow a line or two
I'll do it just because I wanted to
And you know I can't help myself
When it's free
Don't you rescue me

[Verse 2]
Low down sucker, poor mother fucker
My life is a bit of a fucking joke
But god damn you love her

[Pre-Chorus]
Spite my position in the lower class
Ya still bend over backwards just to show me your ass
And I can't say that I don't appreciate it
But I'm fucked up so it's likely that you'll hate this

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
And you're convinced that you caught my eye
And I can see that there's clearly not a reason to lie
I've thought about it, even if you doubt it
I've had a dream or two of telling you where to sit
And if you're dumb enough to lay with a lush like me
I think you're running from the person you used to be
And if you're dumb enough, I'll be the person you see
I think you've done enough

[Chorus]


9. FANOREXIA

[Verse 1]
Well I could lose a little weight
I could speak a little clearer
Try to sound like less of a pussy
Maybe then you'd lend your ears
Oh what would happen to you if I didn't exist?
I bet you'd be relieved
I bet it's such a show list
The good in me

[Chorus]
And I'm doing just fine hating myself
Yeah it's due in just time
That you go to hell

Cause I've been broken down by the shit you cowards say
Well I'm done hoping now that you'll ever go away
So if you see me it'd be wise that you steer clear
And know that you did nothing to get me here

I said I'm doing just fine hating myself
Yeah it's due in just time
That you go to hell

[Verse 2]
I'll starve myself for weeks
Take pills until my body
No longer lets me sleep
Tilt back on another drink
Insecure about what you think
Negative is all you breathe
Stay the fuck away from me

[Chorus]

And I'm doing just fine
Yeah, I'm doing just fine

[Verse 3]
Play the part
Keep wasting your breath
On childish remarks
From the start
I set the flame burning everything
That could possibly
Ruin my name

[Chorus]


10. HERE'S YOUR SONG

[Intro]
Your cheating heart
And those touch me eyes

[Verse 1]
Well they've done it to you again
Can't even hide the fact
We both know the truth is that
All we are are bleeding voices from a cut that's yet to scar
And all I'll ever be
The rotting pieces of the lies you tried to fucking feed to me

[Chorus]
Well I just heard you wrote a sad song
And I bet the verses are all about how I was wrong
And I bet the chorus paints a picture
Of everything I'm not
Well I gave it what I got
And it's on to the next one
You, yeah you're on to the the next one
Yeah, you
Yeah you're on to the next one

[Bridge]
Your cheating heart
And those touch me eyes
Well they've done it to you again, again
From what I've heard
You look better under a rug
Oh what do you know, you do

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
I know you're listening
I know you're watching me
So you just sit there while I get you to where you need to be
And I know that it's just a tragic sight
To see the fuck in a lover's eyes die

Write me off with your hollow mind
You're plaguing me with this wasted time
Yeah I stayed the same
It's evident that I'm not the one that we should blame

[Chorus]


11. THE DECLINE

[Verse 1]
To the ones who don't have anything else, I'm with you
And I'm sorry I wasn't there when it hit you
Sometimes we need to remind ourselves
That life'll get you when it gets you

Sitting in the same old chair
Listening through old blown out speakers
Filling up the ash tray
Empty bottles piling up under me
I don't know
The difference between night and day
It's dark and cold when I'm awake

Piece another verse together
Cut another line
Drink to another chorus
Smoke again cause I got the time
Well maybe one day I can stop wearing this fucking hat
Sell a million records and get the rest of my self worth back

I hope that this is the last sad song I write
And I hope you know that I'm doing alright
Cause by the time you hear this I'll have picked myself back up
Living on a little bit less than enough

[Chorus]
So I'll watch the clock tick by
Tip back and unwind
With whiskey by my side
Hang a noose with spare time
I won't let em see
I won't let em see me
I won't let em see me, hate me

[Verse 2]
When you pull every stick like its the last ash you'll ever taste
When you're full of the wit that they say will go to waste
That is when it's worth it to show them how well you hate
This is the time to let them know
Their help is too late

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I don't know the difference between night and day
It's dark and cold when I'm awake
Wearing these same old clothes while I pace
With blurry vision forgetting the reason I'm in this place
Now they're aware
In a way that they fear
Understanding I won't stop until my words are made clear
But I'm here
Paying dues with a cigarette and a bottle in my hand

I'd rather get high
I'd rather touch em all
I'd rather throw a ball at a blank white wall
Before I sell my soul
To a chump bitch for a sum of money
Only concerned by what he gets from me

[Chorus]
