Tommy's Song

[Verse 1]

Eyes stinging red, from tears clouding focus

My edges broken glass, shattered, dull, and bolus

I sat in your living room, the same one

That you snuck through for twenty years

Tried to live them to their fullest

Demons in your head followed you the closest

Spilled through every single doorway

Grabbed you, wouldn't let you go

And I laid in that living room, seven hours straight

Didn't speak or move but I swear to God

Swear to God I felt your soul

And it's the small things that drove you insane

Held your funeral on a perfect weather day

[Pre-Chorus]

No last goodbye, just silence made

It's fallen tears in falling rain

[Chorus]

Stood outside of your old bedroom

Stillness, heavy air, sun drenched hollow view

I would've been there to listen through

Said "It's okay to lose, even angels sing the blues"

[Post-Chorus]

I heard gospels

In my head, in my head, in my head

[Verse 2]

Closed my eyes for just a glimpse

You were gone when they opened

Cobalt iris, dimpled cheeks

With that smirk we'll never forget

I swear I heard your spirit sing

He promised me you found peace in your sleep

I know you're finally serene

Watched your smile change in picture frames

Through your best years, taken slow, a life of pain

[Pre-Chorus]

No last goodbye, just silence made

It's fallen tears in falling rain

[Chorus]

Stood outside of your old bedroom

Stillness, heavy air, sun drenched hollow view

I would've been there to listen through

Said "It's okay to lose, even angels sing the blues"

[Post-Chorus]

I heard gospels singing in my head

[Bridge]

I heard gospels singing in my head

I saw angels there, holding your hands

And I pray that it didn't hurt too badly, my friend

I'll see you soon, it's not the end

I heard gospels singing in my head

I saw angels, they're holding your hand

And I'm praying that it didn't hurt too badly, my friend

I'll see you soon, it's not the end

I heard gospels singing in my head

I saw angels, they're holding your hand

And I'm praying that it didn't hurt too badly, my friend

I'll see you soon, this is not the end

[Outro]

I thought about the brass

Door handle you must've used

To hang up your gloves

Laces fall from your shoes

No night goes by when I

Don't think of you

We miss you so much, Tom

Know that you miss us too

Man, I know that I'll see you soon

Did what you had to do

Even angels sing the blues

Yeah, I know that I'll see you soon

Did what you had to do

Even angels sing the blues
