Goodbye, John
16, a young restless boy
Guitar in hand, a hardened heart, the world is your enemy
Your mother and aunt leave you, a trail of broken hearts
Your on your own, damn the fucking world, you say!
Childhood friends at hand, a band of legend is born
Around the world like a restless wind, you travel
That fateful day, your voice is heard worldwide
It all comes to quickly now, your head spins
Fame and fortune surrounds you, you dreams are coming true
Friends are all around you, your wife holds you tight
After years of this, its all too much, you begin to build your prison
Secluded from light, you toast to your death a single pill that will change your life forever
Reality becomes a blur, you dont give a fuck anymore
You meet a woman who you claim is in your soul, you fall in love
Your first wife, drowned in tears, is abandoned for another, why?
You marry again to a woman who sucks your money like a mosquito to blood, what the hell were you thinking?
All the while, brain in a storm, your friends drift away, and so ends the greatest band of all time
You are alone, just you and the mosquito, slowly eating you away
You decide its time for a change, your head hurts like fucking hell, you feel all the hatred swarm into you like a violent flood
After days of pain, Reality comes gently, and you look around you
You decide its time to forgive the world for the pain it caused you, and you turn to peace
Old friends are forgiven, and you make amends
The world is bright, the horizon near, until that fateful day
Walking to your grave, you didnt see it coming A mans voice cries out, and you hear a shot, it hits you, your down
What the fuck is going on?, you scream inside your head
Images flash, wife, kids, friends, life
Is there a god? You will soon know
You can hear a heavenly voice call you, all the while people you love call out to you, asking you not to go
Your in a hospital, but are you?
Death is coming quickly now, not oppressive, but like a peaceful sparkling white light from above, it sweeps you
You feel hands lift you, and all is calm
You whisper, good bye, to the human hand that holds yours, and you close your eyes,
forever
