What led you
To this
Distress?
You don't wait for sirens
You bleed by
Your hands
He'll fall
From the heavens
Or twenty stories up
Close enough
He'll take it
And drop
His heart is racing
Pumping adrenaline
Through his veins
He won't feel a thing
But before he lands
Face first
On cement
He can't breathe
Goodbye cruel world
Goodbye cruel world
But the cell phone in his pocket
He doesn't hear it
He can't hear it
He's dead
One missed call
One new voicemail
"Please don't die.
Please don't die."
She cries
She's crying
And it won't stop there
They gather around
A mangled mess of flesh
And bone
They don't care
He made front page
Top story
Without a name
Just an age
A gender
A race
They don't care
We don't care
But he's dead
And she'll suffer for it
