If I died tomorrow, what would you think?

What would you say as you raised that drink

To all that I′d done, all I'd achievedHow many tears would you shed when you grieved?

We′re just dots on a timeline

Looking for the place that I'm gonna find mine

Yeah, I've cried for those who have passed

My only hope is that the memories are gonna last

Long enough for me to make my own impressions

But I′m not asking for the answer to those questions

That we all have in the back of our minds

The ones we spent so much time in our lives

Thinking about while we sit around and drink

And we drink enough till we start to sink

Now this might seem depressing to some

But when I feel like shit, this is just how I think

We all have to deal with these situations

That life spits in our eyes with a smile on it′s face and

Says "Hey if you've got a problem

The Devil′s got a method that you can use to solve them"

Drugs and alcohol, self harm and suicide

Other people wonder why some of us just wanna hide

From all of that pain, all of that suffering

While we sit here complaining that Youtube's buffering

Now I′ve never had a problem with narcotics

And to some of you, that might not cut it

But just because my story's not a Hollywood blockbuster

It doesn′t make it any more microscopic

Everyone dies, that's a hard fact and we've all gotta live with it

But to some other people who get caught in a rut

They don′t see this shit to be so simplistic

People go through things they shouldn′t have to

Because some sick fuck needed his kick

You call her a whore because she might've slipped

But sometimes you′ve gotta fall to make lessons stick

October 10th 2012, a date that another mother's life was shattered

She tries to pick all the pieces up to help someone else who′s been bruised and battered

And you abuse the power at your fingertips

And make fun of every single thing that happens

When if it was your child who hung itself

You'd be the one who was trying to find a balance

Searching for solace while sitting in silence

Till the lights flash blue and you hear those sirens

And they carry her stone cold body away

While the sun sets on that horizon

Knowing that every single day for the rest of your life will begin without that person

And to me that′s a thing in this life that I find so fucking disturbing

The way that we treat each other, when we think there won't be any repercussions

When we think that nobody's watching, but to be honest that′s a pretty stupid assumption

Now I′ve dealt with my fair share of shit in my time and I know that everybody has

And I try to live my life with no regrets but still there are things that haunt my past

Now, you ever hear this song, I'm speaking directly to you

And I′m accountable for my actions, there's no hiding from the truth

I stood there and watched, and I didn′t even move a muscle

Yeah I could've yelled stop, but I just watched you struggle

Now my only excuse is that I was scared too, and when I look back now I feel sick with myself

That I didn′t step up, I stood at the back, even though I knew the right thing to do

Teachers, students, everybody saw it, we all took it in but nobody stopped it

You called for help, but everybody opted out, formed a circle and started to shout

Gathered around the schoolyard like animals

Yelling at the top of their lungs craving blood like a cannibal

Somebody shouts fight, somebody else thinks it's the right thing to do

Take a second to blink, next thing you knew

You've jumped from a high school into a zoo

There′s a whole pack of lions backed with a crew

It′s survival of the fittest and they're coming for you

People seem to say that those years were the best that we′ll ever have

That we'll never experience anything as good as our lives that are now in the past

But when you have to wake up, day after day

That′s not the kinda thing you wanna hear someone say

Through the pushing, the shoving, the beating and mugging

You just wanna scream make it all go away

It's all my fault I take the blame

I don′t wanna be noticed just forget my name

All I can do is kneel down and pray

That tomorrow won't be the same as today
