Piss Poor Horrible Dream

(Joshua Lyons)

A song about life when it doesn't even resemble living anymore. When bad luck and poor choices have got you stuck in a rut you feel powerless to get out of and everything seems like a piss poor, horrible dream.

Verse 1
Bad luck follows me like my shadow
Like I'm the only one soaked in the rain
Experience is worn like a tattoo
But mine has faded into more of a stain
Still my disillusion is endless
Like my path to prosperity
Briefcase is filled with my disgrace
That I'm compelled to carry with me

Pre-Chorus
This nightmare must be a dream
Or a simulation type thing
I don't know, but I want to scream
I am not the one
I'm sorry I'm the way that I am
Wish I could be a better man
And you know that I've tried, but goddamn
Why is my bad luck never done?

Chorus
It's a piss poor horrible dream
A movie without a good scene
And I don't know what it means 
When the hell did it start?
It's a piss poor horrible dream
The worst kind I've ever seen
And it makes me want to scream 
Everything keeps falling apart

Verse 2
I'm stuck in this rut alone with my shadow
The only company I keep through the pain
Went hard making mistakes I can't undo that I hardly have a right to complain
I'm certain that I am a burden
I just need some kind of a guide
I swear you'd find a man you wouldn't mind if you took my mind and had a look inside

Pre-Chorus
This nightmare must be a dream
Or a simulation type thing
But it feels so wrong and unclean
I'm not having fun
Believe me I hate who I am
Life didn't turn out as planned
And you know I'll still try, but goddamn
I just kinda wish I was done

Chorus
It's a piss poor horrible dream
A movie without a good scene
And I don't know what it means 
When the hell did it start?
It's a piss poor horrible dream
The worst kind I've ever seen
And it makes me want to scream 
Everything keeps falling apart

Bridge
This nightmare feels so obscene
This piss poor horrible dream
And what does all of it mean?
I'll take it back to the start
It's a piss poor horrible dream
This whore is horribly mean
Evil like you've never seen
So stupid thinking she was smart

Pre-Chorus
This nightmare must be a dream
Or a simulation type thing
Does it mean anything?
Or is it just abstract art
I guess only a real man
Gets beat by a councilman
And I knew that you'd leave but goddamn
How did you get that drunk sweetheart?

Chorus
It's a piss poor horrible dream
A movie without a good scene
And it feels so wrong and unclean 
I wish I had left at the start
It's a piss poor horrible dream
The worst kind I've ever seen
And I don't care what it means
In the end it all falls apart
