The Day That I Died (pt. 1)

The day that I died was so long ago
It still haunts me now, more than you'll know
The day started like any other
All of us together, mom, sister, and brothers
We'd go to a picnic at a friends
How could I know how it would end
While we played you just kept on drinking
And before long it got you to thinking
Thinking about problems you'd had
Soon a good time turned pretty bad
Too much to drink and then you passed out
Woken by a squabble, a yell, and a shout
All you heard were the words "I'm tellin'"
All the way home it's what you kept yellin'
Behind your seat I'd be hiding
You kept trying to hit me, when you should have been driving
Then in a moment you thought what the heck
That's when a lit cigarette was put out in my neck
By the time we got home I couldn't even cry
As you kicked in my ribs wishing I'd die
No neighbors came, guess none of them cared
I didn't know what to do I was just too scared
You said you'd heard my sister and I fight
And for all you cared I could stay out all night
I was locked out, beaten and broken
As you went inside, not another word spoken
When I think of it now, yes I still cry
Because for me, it's the day that I died
Though so long ago, "way back when"
What did I do, I was only ten
