Cascading Inertia

When his mantra turned into
"Not long for this world"
It broke my mind into pieces
I still can't find

He bled out in the rain
Cut his arms with the perfect blade
He wouldn't feel the pain
Because his soul was flying free

I know you had to leave
Now go where I can't be
I wish I could have ripped out
That chaos in your blood

A very complicated situation
How you end up there
But I think it was mostly
Being born into violence
And fighting that cycle
And falling through this fucking world

I know it wasn't the plan
But you needed one last "fuck you" to the man
With all that was left of
That chaos in your blood

Never to stand again
Cutting pain to breathe
He couldn't bring himself
To live in so much need

He soared away in the rain
And left me needing nothing
I know he killed his pain
I just wish he lived to see him
