The happiness drained
From a once delightful face
The news hits like a brick
His mind now is a dark place
He takes it on his stride
Returns the next day
Never thinking never knowing
When it would be his time to pay
Coming of the stage at last
I can't fucking do this anymore
Confused expressions but accepting
On tour they will go no more
The truth pours out
Everybody knows
The media guesses
Delivering great blows
The pain takes over
No more time
The power draining
Becomes a mime
Voice is leaving
Medication rules life
Pain and suffering
Inside full of strife
Slowly ebbing away
Fading so fast
Not long left
Seas of salty tears so vast
Last whisper
Of breath
Over so soon
Taken from us by death.
