| I had my own apartment then. |
| My first apartment and me and two friends had
|
| picked up 10 grams in the city. |
| We went back home to me. |
| Then all of a sudden,
|
| I just wake up on the floor, it may have been four o‘clock at night and I can
|
| hear someone knocking somewhere. |
| What the hell is happening? |
| I lived on the
|
| ground floor and my two friends stood on the balcony and banged on the window
|
| and they were very distressed. |
| So when I got up to let them in I hear the
|
| doorbll ringing. |
| I thought something must have happend so I started to hide the
|
| fact that we‘ve had a fucking junkie party here. |
| So I take the beers and I go
|
| and look through the keyhole on the door. |
| Then I see that there are 4 ambulance
|
| men outside there so I think «what the hell is this?». |
| So I gather courage and
|
| open …
|
| «Hi»
|
| «Hi, are you Mikael Hägglund?»
|
| I answered «Yes»
|
| «How are you?»
|
| «I‘m doing fine»
|
| «Ok, we‘ve got a call saying you‘re not»
|
| Down we fall
|
| I‘m drifting out, away from life
|
| Venom, flows in my veins
|
| Eyes, clouded in blackness
|
| As the past twists and fade
|
| Into grey
|
| Four steps from the edge
|
| I return from death
|
| And hide in plain sight
|
| When they knock on the door
|
| I believe that as a child you are born with an enormous love for your parents,
|
| and it takes a very long time before it goes away. |
| But I think that at the age
|
| of 12−13 I started to feel… that I almost did not belong
|
| My family did not become my safe space
|
| An absent father
|
| A loving mother
|
| The charade I maintain
|
| The secrets I keep
|
| In a bottomless chasm
|
| I left myself alone
|
| Det duger bra
|
| För en stund
|
| Kan jag sjunka ner i dyn
|
| Jag somnar in
|
| Och för en stund
|
| Har jag glömt mig själv
|
| «You look abit worried, is everything alright?»
|
| «I‘ve just had some beer, it‘s all good»
|
| «Is it okay for us to check your blood pressure?»
|
| «Absolutely» So I held out my hand and put on one on those things that you
|
| check your blood pressure with
|
| «You have quite high blood pressure, you should rest and don’t drink anymore
|
| for now. |
| Try get some sleep, Call if you need anything»
|
| «Absolutely, I promise. |
| Thanks for coming»
|
| I closed the door and started to wondered what the hell happened? |
