No Guitars in Hell

I’ve been sick before

But never quite like this

I came down with a fever some time ago

And now I feel like a fish

Running out of water

I know what’s coming

It’s haunting me like a song

That’s been stuck in my head

And I can’t get rid of it

Coz it’s been there for so damn long

And I want some peace

And I don’t wanna die right now

I’ve much to do

I’ve much to sing

I’ve gotta do so much of everything

And I wanna remain on this earth

Till time ends

Till I’ve made all of my amends

Coz there’re no guitars in hell, my friend

I’ve seen my family

Crowd around me

And talk in hushed voices

I’ve seen them fake smiles

I’ve seen their red eyes

They talk to me like I’ve got other choices

No one should ever go through that

But they’d never give up hope

Even if you’re on your last rope

Never accept you’re truly gone

And that’s when they realize

The true meaning of life

Lies in loss

Rather late for an epiphany

And I don’t wanna give up hope either

Knowing fully well

I just have a few minutes

To sing you one last farewell

So here goes, I hope it fits

I hope it sums up everything

I’ve loved you all

And this is the end

I wish I could have been a better man

I’d sing to you every song I've ever penned

But I won’t,

coz as you know

There’re no guitars in hell, my friends
