Lavender
Don't rush life, take a step back and rest. Enjoy the moment, don't let it pass you by.

Mental health is real and unfortunately sometimes it makes a person snap. They break and do things that are irrational and life-threatening. The numbers in suicide and mass shootings is increasing.

Mass shooters aren't insane, but they tend to have "baggage" or traumas they carry with them.

Depression, loneliness, bullying, fatherless, abused, neglected...

Young men not knowing how to cope and deal with these challenges life is hurling at them. Hitting a breaking point, planning, mimicking prior crimes, killing, and typically, killing himself.

After he took out several others. Releasing a "hit list" and or a "rape list".

Drip, Drop

Drip, drop.
It won't stop.
Drip, drop.
Call a cop.
Drip, drop.
It won't stop.
Drip, drop.
Mind gonna pop.
Drip, drop.

Voices sneering.
Drip, drop.
Mind reeling.
Drip, drop.
Body cold.
Drip, drop.
Fate unfold.
Drip, drop.

Everything's numb.
Drip, drop.
Nobody has come.
Drip, drop.
This is the end.
Drip, drop.

Drenched in crimson.
Drip, drop.
Failing the mission.
Drip, drop.
Flailing in darkness.
Drip, drop.
Leaving this carcass.
Drip, drop.
Life flashes by.
Drip, drop.
Endless memories bidding goodbye.
Drip, drop.

Wishing for bliss.
Drip, drop.
Feeling Death’s kiss.
Drip, drop.
Death, an angel or an illusion?
Drip, drop.
A lost love sent to guide, or a delusion?
Drip, drop.
In peace, together we fade.
Drip, drop.
