Cadence

In Western musical theory, a cadence (Latin cadentia, "a falling") is the end of a phrase in which the melody or harmony creates a sense of full or partial resolution, especially in music of the 16th century onwards. A harmonic cadence is a progression of two or more chords that concludes a phrase, section, or piece of music. A rhythmic cadence is a characteristic rhythmic pattern that indicates the end of a phrase. A cadence can be labeled "weak" or "strong" depending on the impression of finality it gives. While cadences are usually classified by specific chord or melodic progressions, the use of such progressions does not necessarily constitute a cadence—there must be a sense of closure, as at the end of a phrase.

Exhausted from screaming
My throat's ripped to shreds
I used to laugh at the thought of a sickness in my head
And everyday your voice still haunts me
And everyday I am left to believe
That it all was my fault that you felt alone
Your hints of depression a soft cry for help
I was too busy to notice or care of how you felt

I still cry at your grave and visit your mother 
Tell her it's okay, bring a gift for your brother
Their empty eyes look through me
And they're speaking like you haven't passed at all

I wanted to tell you again that I miss you
I water these flowers with tears from my cheeks
I pick any dandelions and wipe away the dirt that hides your name

Silent unspoken a bystander to this
Complacent complicit I'm lost without my friend
Please forgive me brother
Please forgive me

Out of anger I curse your name
And pray to a god that I don't believe in
How does the beauty of life go unnoticed
A wonderful soul turned hopeless
You were so afraid of failure
But now the chance of succeeding is gone
If I could just shake you and tell you how much you are loved
You would see how your thinking is so fucking flawed

Exhausted from screaming
My throat's ripped to shreds
I used to laugh at the thought of a sickness in my head 

I wanna believe you regret it
Wherever you are do you regret it
Let me carry the weight you can't

I still cry at your grave and visit your mother 
Tell her it's okay, bring a gift for your brother
Their empty eyes look through me
And they're speaking like you haven't passed at all

I wanted to tell you again that I miss you
I water these flowers with tears from my cheeks
I pick any dandelions and wipe away the dirt that hides your name
