When you come in, you come in with a bang
You're plastered
hammered
three sheets to the wind
We all know what's coming
"kids, in your rooms.
Daddy and I have to talk."
And this is how life is
day after day.
week after week.
month after month.
year.
after.
******.
year.
We dream of escape
leaving you and Chicago
and buying a nice little cabin out in the country
But for now, it matters not
We don't have the money
Only you
And a collection of bruises
cuts
scars.
Someday
oh, someday
we'll leave you
and your **** *****.

Every night before I go to bed
I put my hands together and bow my head.
I say aloud, "God, give me the strength to love my life,
and make me an amazing wife."
I proceeded to crawl under the covers next to you,
whispering softly in your ear, "My love, this is all true."
Falling into the deep sleep, picture perfect under your arm,
knowing that there wasn't anything in this world that would give me harm.
And that night i dreamt about something so  unreal,
tears streemed down my face, I didn't know how to feel.
"Baby, what's wrong?" you said to me,
with your beautiful green eye guarantee.
I dreamt about a black sky,
hearing people scream " YOU'RE GOING TO DIE"
Blood was spilling everywhere,
and for some reason I didn't care.
I watched as the blood flowed through the hellish place I was in,
and looked up and saw her menecing grin

As I walk through the valley I'm the shadow of death,
I keep myself together with every waking breath,
I make it unknown to everyone who I truely am,
no one will every know the emotions I cram.
Some say i don't understand,
That I dont get it,
That I dont understand you,
Well I do, I see you, I know you, I get you,
I've been where you are,
I've walked through the valley and back up again,
I've slept alone with my thoughts in a den,
I thought it would never end.
Day after day,
Year after year,
never shedding one tear,
I stayed strong through the worst,
picked myself up when i was about to burst,
I've let love go when my lust thurst,
I am the shadow in the valley of death,
I look like im the angel of life,
no one needs to see the black cloke i wear,
they just see my smile and short cut hair.
Well groomed, teeth clean, smelling good,
no one relizes there is something below,
a second skin, lying within,
waiting to be let out to show my real self,
but until then the angel of life is here to stay,
to tell you your beautiful and great,
even the shadow inside me knows its not to late,
to show you what I see in you,
to rewire your battered heart,
to give you a new start,
to tell you that your not stupid,
that your funny and cute and deserve cupid,
I'm hear to listen and help,
even though you think I can't
I'm going to try my best,
not as the shadow of death,
but the angel of life,
to give you happiness in every breath.

Gentle lady, do not sing
Sad songs about the end of love;
Lay aside sadness and sing
How love that passes is enough.

Sing about the long deep sleep
Of lovers that are dead, and how
In the grave all love shall sleep:
Love is aweary now.
