Rocky Dennis’ Farewell Song

August 27th, 2009 | by admin |

“What’s the matter, never seen anyone from the planet Vulcan before?”
(”Mask”)

Rocky Dennis was an American boy who suffered from craniodiaphyseal dysplasia, also known as lionitis. It’s a rare bone disorder that causes calcium to build up in the skull, deforming the face, making the eyesight and hearing very poor and eventually destroying the brain. There are only a few recorded cases of that disease. People afflicted with it usually die in their childhood, but Rocky did almost reach his seventeenth birthday.

PLEASE DON’T WRITE ANY OFFENSIVE COMMENTS ABOUT ME OR ROCKY! I know he isn’t handsome, but when it comes to his appearance, try to keep your opinion to yourself. -_-”
ALL COMMENTS LIKE THAT WILL BE DELETED, so it’s useless to write them.

“ROCKY DENNIS’ FAREWELL SONG (TO THE BLIND GIRL)” by Jens Lekman

“Blind girl, I missed you
I missed you so much
I’ve been sending letters, trying to call you
But I can’t seem to get in touch

I bet your mom and dad were scared of me
Or maybe they just care about their dollars
I think back upon summer camp
And I think I wanna show you more colours

Here’s white, here’s black
Here’s the colour of my heart as I’m starting to crack
Deep red, dark blue
I think I’m in love with you
(I think I’m in love with you)

Blind girl, I wish you were here
I wish we come closer
I wish you had met my family
My mom and Bulldozer

I think upon summer camp
On New Year’s eve, when we danced
And I could sit and watch my life go by
Where I could take a tiny chance, ’cause

Someday I’ll be stuffed in some museum
Scaring litte kids
With the inscripture “carpe diem”
Something I never did

But can you remember how we rode shiny horses
And we set courses for the sky and the ocean
And I tried to explain it to you
But it was too huge

Blind girl, I miss you
Blind girl, I miss you
Blind girl, I miss you…”
