about

This song is very personal to me because it's really kind of the only song on here talking about the hardships of someone that isn't myself. Anway if you know who this song is about you know, if you don't know who it's about don't ask me because I'm not going to tell you. The main point of this song came from reading through my notes about this event. Here's this person I think so highly of, one of the funniest, most talented people I know, and I see him in one of the darkest states you can see someone in. It was a terrible experience that I never want to witness again but I think all human beings have these depressive, sometimes suicidal thoughts. It's up to us to remind our friends and family of how great we all are and distract us from these terrible places we tend to drift to. With that being said I do have a lot of bad days but I'm glad I have some really great friends in my life.
p.s. My friend wasn't going to jump off the roof we were just drinking on the roof
p.p.s Earlier in the night we were throwing chairs off the roof of the building, which isn't something we're proud of but it happened so what's the point keeping that one in the vault.

lyrics

I was hanging out with some friends in Brooklyn
One friend in particular and I we were hanging out off to the side.
It might of been, I'm pretty sure it was the 4th of July.
That's when he told me that he wanted to die.
This came to me as a surprise, I couldn't believe the truth.
But there he was sobbing on the edge of the roof.
Now this friend in particular is the greatest guy I know.
I'm not just saying that I really do think so.
It broke my heart as he told me in tears that this how he felt and it had been this way for years.
How can someone so amazing think they are this bad.
Writing in my notebook brought this revelation I had.
There are nights where I lie awake in bed and I curse the world wishing I were dead.
I think that self loathing is the root of human nature so look at your friends and family.
You better make sure that you tell them they're awesome all the time because I'm sure they're awesome all the time.
and I'm sure you're awesome all the time.
