      Joseph 'Jacknife' Megessey: Rise and shine cause it is time!

They're the people that cared about me mostly I guess but I didn't... you know... I thought... No, I think, I think I don't deserve them caring about me 'cause I don't like me very much. But hey, it's time! If not for me then for the people that didn't stop loving me.
