I could see you wanted to get better You wanted to live a life Devoid of fear, devoid of failure But you couldn't quite reach a time You could see a light in the distance But even with your arms outstretched You couldn't quite reach it You couldn't quite hold it in your hands And I'm afraid, because we lived for the now And we've all lost that somehow I hope in your final moments You felt overwhelming love It's so unfair The world It just plows through us like snow And I wish you'd recovered From the storm that raged over The coast of the Carolinas It's not fair to blame all of the people that get destroyed by A world that doesn't care whether they live or die Oh no, I just want things to get better It was never the drugs It was a void created by the culture Communities can't succeed When individualism overshadows humanity I'm just tired of suffering being the default state of being For nearly everyone that's ever mattered anything to me
