Well you know what i f in refuse too!

Cause this aint normal. No one should have to live like this.

T tells me today, normal in this area was this, she points with her hand and makes a mark. Then says, this is normal now, and points way below her other mark. That aint normal. It cant be normal. Its not acceptable. I cant even drink my faucet water. I've got oil soaked earth surrounding my house and i'm told thats safe. What am i doing? Do i really want this? This aint living. Why do i continue to go through with this?

Cause this is my home. This is where i took my first step. I made my communion here. I learned to drive here. I had my first date here. I got my first job. I watched my friends and family grow.

And now, thats all gone. There is nothing left of it. It'll never be again.

So why? Why, do i stick around?
