overview of past life

she's moving in
No
You have no say
No?
She's here...who cares what you say
Go away
Loads and loads of crap
garbage
crack

boards on doors
locks all over

yelling
the smells
the cars driving by
screams
cops
cops
fights
hammers
hitting
more cops
every other day cops
i'm going to kill you...
nothing that we can do.

get her outta here!
No
Please?
can't.
cries
yells
sobs
please? help.
HELP!
sorry

quiet for a day
yells through the floors

daddy help?
open your eyes?

NO.
christmas passes
birthdays
holidays

still the same.

yelling
fighting
hitting
drug selling
cops do you have eyes to see?

get her outta here!

screams
cops

everything gone
outta the house

new home
no phone calls
everything gone

everything is gone

need to keep the house...

a phone call?
hello.

I am there for him

gone when something better comes along.
dirtbag friends

no more calls
craziness
sadness
sickness

sadness.

trying to heal

Once in a while

It's that time of the year again, it's chilly outside.

When I think of your kisses
I'm still gonna smile
I'm still gonna miss you
Once in a while

Once in a while I'll wake up
Wondering why we gave up
But once in a while
Comes and it fades away

Good things keep moving ahead
I'm tired of dying
I'm living instead
