The Salmon Constellation

Hello my friend

You have swum to the astral side

We're going with you for a ride

To fix your smile in the starry sky

August third two thousand thirteen

A dead sparkling star's swimming with the dolphins

From dust you were made, to dust you've returned

This is a fucking lesson I should never have learned

I saw your body, that gentle smile, and your half-closed eye

I put my hand on your bald head and you were still so warm

A shiver ran through me, that kind of thermal transfer

It was so hard for me to dive into your nightmare

This is so weird, I am fucking lost

My senses are paralyzed, feel like a fucking ghost

Difficult to realize, but I think it's time

You have suffered so much, my friend, now you are fine

I had a dream last night in which you were alive

I was taking you in my arms, crying, crying so hard

You said to me "don't worry, man I have not disappeared"

But suddenly I woke up... You were not fucking here!

Hundreds of bubbles at the bottom of the ocean

A thousand stars in the salmon constellation

Hundreds of bubbles at the bottom of the ocean

A thousand stars in the salmon constellation

I had a second cruel dream

A third, a fourth... What does it mean?

This is not what your life should be

Your demise is still haunting me

As I look up far away

My eyes towards the dark skies

My friends and I start to pray

For a rainbow funeral

I'm not the only one, everybody's scared

We saw your wood coffin going down to flames

You are the first of us to open the gates of heaven

Wait for us buddy, see you next season

Hundreds of bubbles at the bottom of the ocean

A thousand stars in the salmon constellation

Hundreds of bubbles at the bottom of the ocean

A thousand stars in the salmon constellation

You tried to fight that vicious cancer

But your final round was to meet the reaper

You were a warrior until your last breath

You were a great guy enjoy your rest

I printed this black and white pic and put it on my desk

I look at it every fucking day to banish this bad taste

It was hard but now I smile when I see a pic of you

It's my way to remind me of all the moments I spent with you

"Thank you for coming" were your last words

Losing a true friend is ruining my world

I swear I will live each moment to the fullest

To respect your memory... Peace for your soul

I see a salmon in the sky, a salmon in the sky

A salmon in the sky, I see a salmon in the sky

Hundreds of bubbles at the bottom of the ocean

A thousand stars in the salmon constellation

I miss you!! I miss you!!

I miss you!! I fucking miss you!!
