Rip

Thank you for helping me through my dark days You helped me understand that being numb is normal That you should not keep it in, that you should let it out Out there for all to see because in the end nothing else really matters You helped me feel less invisible To deal with my loneliness And to understand the bad decisions crawling in my skin For I too had a problem with authority There were times I wanted to run away To find a place I thought I belonged To forget myself and what I've done As this burden was always more than I could carry I feel as though I have lost my best friend Who stood by me as my empire burned to the ground Who found me when my voice was lost in the echo That held my hand when I was one step closer to the edge Because of you I gained the courage to face my enemies I learned to embrace them and dance with my demons And that the only one who can save me is me But everything feels so heavy now Just hearing your voice would put the pain in reverse Which is why wear this mask of shame For we the saved could not pull you back When you were cold and lost in desperation You were an entertainer but also my friend, my savior Rest in peace dear Chester
