Because every night i go to sleep and I have this dream it's so hard to be yourself It's so hard to be yourself When everyday feels like Hell When everyday feels like Hell it's so hard to be yourself It's so hard to be yourself When everyday feels like Hella Everyday feels like Hell Steve miller in your black kia Didn't know you had a drug dealer I mention i write songs and play guitar You asked me for a business card But that's how silicon valley goes though That's how silicon valley goes though If I'm gonna die broke Hanging from a tight rope I might as well share a couple songs I wrote Take me to the crossroads or take me to church I don’t want to make a living trying to sell my merch How do I know it's all going to turn out alright? Who's your daddy? Because every night I go to sleep and I ha(s)ve th(at)is dre(nded?)am

I just smoke I just smoke I just smoke Moved away I just smoke I just smoke High as fuck When are you coming home son I don't know when But we'll get together then, I just smoke dad You'll know we'll have a good time then My parents are getting divorce Two Cristmases You promised them didn’t you why'd you go and do that how many times have I told you If you're not going to be there Don't say you're going to be there You know how I knew you promised him? Because he kept looking at me up into the stands and like after about I don't know the 40th time I realized I'm proud of you He expected you to be there. I don't care if you flake out on me Well I care but you know I chose it, I married you I'll deal with it he didn't choose this Do you love who you sleep with? Every night I go to sleep Spend your whole life, being with them? Every night I go to sleep And I have this dream It's never too late to break up What a man Because ever night That the real ditch the old love, Find a new one, Hopefully the kids forgive you Love the new you And double Christmas And I dream And I dream I got a job they gave me a job It's Christmas They gave me a job I just smoke Merry Christmas dad Merry Christmas to you bud You know what? I think this is the best Christmas I've ever had. Friday night at your fathers house Eating Take out pizza's Watching movie after movie On timeout with the TV What's going in the back room? Why's the door shut and the music turned up? You know that night you came back? I wished it I wished that you would be here for chistmas Thanks for giving me a second chance to be your dad Now there's something I have to tell you It's time for me to go What? no. Mom picks me up at the grocery store Cried, don't make me go back there anymore You bought me candy for the drive home I didn't eat it, stared out the window Put on my headphones to block the world out Watch the trees pass under grey clouds Well Was it worth it? Because Double Christmas Means Double Halloween My world's a nightmare No, sing me the other one My song Every time you say good bye I die a little Mmhmm take off your boots Every time You say goodbye Oh man if I had one hit song You will I'd make you guys really proud of you We're already really proud of you I'd get you some diamonds Hmm, nauh. All I need is you In my, real world is, only a dream I love you cat I love you too

Lone Hey hey hey hey we can make it Now he's not even a professional drunk hey we can make it I was unable to get you a present because I am at city team ministries I just wanted to say that I am very proud of you. I heard that you were accepted to Berkeley. I would like to help you if I can some how? I miss you and your brothers a lot. I know that I haven't been a perfect dad but I will always love all three of you boys and Bethany too. I can't change the past but I can change the future with the help of god! I came to city team ministries as a last chance. My sponsor and mentor, a friend of 35 years Rich Suchlove from venture church asked me if I wanted a new way of life? I then said yes and I committed myself to a year at city team I feed the homeless 50-100 people a day breakfast and dinner. I attend D.B.S. classes daily bible study classes about 3 hours a day Go find the light I also attend S.A.I.T. classes as well as parenting classes Preaching that old shit Preaching that old shit You ain't on my clock and I just finished 2 years of anger management classes before I came here. I want to change my life for god and for good I don't know what to say except if you or your brothers or friends want to come visit. We have movies in our small chapel here put on by Saratoga presbytyrian church every Friday night at 6:00 Pm. Free movies and popcorn, movies like titan etc. Please come visit. Miss you these ain't tears that's the Visine dripping You have to forgive the past so that you can actually function

about

Zone to Defend or ZAD (French: zone à défendre) is a French neologism used to refer to a militant occupation that is intended to physically blockade a development project. The ZADs are organized particularly in areas with an ecological or agricultural dimension,[1] notably in the permanent blockade village which helped to defeat the Aéroport du Grand Ouest, a proposed airport in Notre-Dame-des-Landes, north of Nantes. However the name has also been used by occupations in urban areas, for example in Rouen,[2] and in Décines-Charpieu.[3] One of the movement's first slogans was 'ZAD everywhere' (French: Zad Partout) and though there are no official figures, in early 2016 there were estimated to have been between 10 and 15 ZADs across France.[4]
