Everything's an Illusion

I try to sleep but my eyes are open,

I can't think because my heart is broken,

There's a bottle lying next to me,

I'll down a few drinks just to take the pain away.

I want to say all the things I need to say,

I won't lie, I'll just tell them honestly,

If God can take a friend away from me,

Then I can say all I want and he won't do anything.

My tongue is weak and every time I try to speak,

I can't say nothing at all.

Sleep well, my friend,

There will be another moment we'll meet again,

Just let it go,

Sleep well, good night,

You're something to remember,

I wish that you were here by my side.

I spend hours trying to make it through the day,

I don't know if I'll ever be the same,

It's hard enough when you're all alone,

In the city that you loved, now Atlanta's just a burial ground.

My tongue is weak and every time I try to speak,

I can't say nothing at all,

It's hard to think when losing someone only makes you want to scream,

And now that you're gone.

Sleep well, my friend,

There will be another moment we'll meet again,

Just let it go,

Sleep well, good night,

You're something to remember,

I wish that you were here by my side.

I'll rest in pieces, I can't believe this,

A mother shouldn't witness her son die at twenty-four.

(Please take notice, these words are hopeless)

I will hold my tongue for the rest of my life,

(It's ripping me apart and I can't take it anymore)

But I can't keep this up anymore.

Sleep well, my friend,

There will be another moment we'll meet again,

Just let it go,

Sleep well, good night,

You're something to remember,

I wish that you were here by my side.

By my side, by my side, by my side.

Sleep well, good night,

You're something I'll remember,

I wish that you were here by my side.
