James Owen Sullivan, You Will Be Missed

Close your eyes,
Take a breath,
Erase the lies,
Everything is left.

Don't walk away,
Don't turn your back,
You were born here to stay,

Here is to you,
Where you can chase the ducks,
Drink all the beer you want without getting drunk,
Play the drums non-stop.

Hear our cries,
Don't listen to the lie,

A little peace of heaven,
That's all we all need.

I am unbroken; I'm choking on this ecstasy.
Unbreak me, unchain me. I need another chance to live.

Play my darkest fears,
Let them unwind and dance before my fallen tears.
Let them sing sickly sweet in my ears like a lullaby,
Just like a lullaby.

I believe that dreams are sacred,
Just a twisted fake illusion that stands before my eyes.
Caress my skin as if they were real,
Whisper in my ears,
play my darkest fears.

Take my darkest fears.
Just like a lullaby to a child, right before my fallen tears.
Don't let them be sarced.
Let them be known to the illusion.

I'm stuck here with these fallen tears,
They are now playing my darkest fears.
Just as if they were a drunken, sickly lullaby.
