"Dreams of Eddie"

 
Twenty five years or so
Time falls like rain
Your face, that snap
Where did it come from
My friend, since then
Through all the pain
I've thought about you
Everyday

Newports and bourbon
Funny no more
Your eyes all alone
In your rusty bed
Separation
Anxiety
Who heard it before
New to us then

I awoke last night
Thought i had it
All figured out
It's just too complex
There's not a chance
I'd write it down
But it stayed with me
For far too long

I ask the universe
For the truth and
All the courage
Because in my mind
I've got a plan
To kill everyone
Break you out of there
Release all your fears

So I dusted off
My boondockers
Put on my balaclava
And loaded my van
With a 50 cal, an RPG
and a jar of vaseline
Just in case

I felt my heart pumping
Just like ISIS
On Christmas day
Ready to change the world
Just like you
Only this time I'm
Gonna do it right

I was hungry so
I stopped on 95
For a sugar free Red Bull
And a Whatchamacallit
1hr latter there I was
Rt 108
Just outside his home

I don't remember much
Just the sound of screams
The smell of blood
And the taste of salt
From my crazy tears
Kill them all I heard
Just kill them all

You appeared to me
Just like in me dream
Old and gray
I knew it was you
Still locked in fear
In that soulless cage
Hold on Eddie Eddie hold on

To feel your furry arms
Wrapped around my neck
Into the hoizon
Where we would
Both be free. Free to live
Free from all of
The monsters of this world

Hold my hand little one
Lead you though the darkness
Far away from your world
Imprisoned for too long
It's not your fault
It's all of ours
Be free my friend
And swing on into the light
