Grayscale – Tommy's Song lyrics

[Verse 1]
Eyes stinging red, from tears clouding focus
My edges broken glass, shattered, dull, and bolus
I sat in your living room
That you snuck through for twenty years
Trying 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
Still this 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]
Close 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
Still this 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 blue
Yeah, I know that I'll see you soon
Did what you had to do
Even angels sing the blues
