James Owen Sullivan, You Will Be Missed

I heard the news
You're gone Rev
It's still waiting to hit home
For the words to take meaning.

It's hard to believe
No more cymbal crashing
No more drum solos
This can't be true.

28 was too young to go
Though they say the best die young
Did you want to go Jimmy?
I don't think you did.

Your music takes new meaning
Every lyric laced with sadness
The music brings fresh tears
Tell me you're not really gone.

Is Afterlife what you imagined Rev?
I hope you have your own Little Piece of Heaven
I bet you're partying hard
Rearranging stars to spell profanities.
I hope you're in Heaven
I hope there are stallion ducks to chase
And people to go kung fu on
I guess I just hope you're happy.

Tonight I look to the sky
I wonder if you're looking down on me
I hope you are
Probably laughing at us all.
You think we're all silly don't you?
If you were here you'd tell us not to cry
You would tell us
To sieze each day like our last
We would if you were here.

I'm trying to be positive
Using you as an inspiration
I will sieze each day for myself
Just as you asked us.

I still wish you were here Jimmy
I wish this was one of your dumb jokes
I want you to laugh at us all
For falling for such a stupid prank.

I hope you're happy Rev
We will all miss you

You were the best
You will forever be remembered.
