Dani


Dani
Nothing much to do in this one horse town
Boredom is cured with a bottle, a toke, some coke, meth or smack
His passion drew her to him
The danger in his swagger
Yes, he hurt others
People he didn't care about
He's different with me, she insisted
It wasn't his fault, she defended
He loves me, he would never hurt me, she believed it too

When money and the drug supply ran low,  the fighting increased
Addicted to chaos, this becomes the new drug

With the threat of jail looming she tried to be good
Let's stop the drugs, let's get real jobs, let's prove our families wrong
He always agreed, let's start tomorrow

Every step forward he pulled her back four
Manipulation was his favorite game
Every moment, every decision, every thought
He tried to control them all

In the end he knew he was losing
He couldn't break those family bonds
So he cut them for good

Her lifeless body lies somewhere
Waiting to be found
