ishroyale - tom lyrics
water guns and foam darts, flimsy from the start, birthdays and super bowls, slow to depart+ in the hallowed arch of the doorway, halo sculpted on your bald head
from light fixtures that changed with my mom’s style and aesthetics she divulged to me tom+ that you’ve battled several cancers and lost your mother+in+law
if i ever get back to albuquerque+ i hope you’d like to see me+ just a room away but we didn’t speak+ in utter disbelief that i’d reached the age of seventeen
what would i have mentioned? my opiate addiction? spoken of selling pot, waning interest in science fiction+ you’d might’ve disapproved but i wanted you to know anyway
passing crushed lines of pills on phone screens under stalls, i was hiding from myself as well as you and my mom+ an award winning performance couldn’t have fooled those that have known me that long
should i ever get back to albuquerque+ i hope you can forgive me+ what i had been i won’t always be+ if we were strangers in this land i hope i could be a man you’d like to meet
as with all men we were flimsy from the start, a fraction of your grace in the paths that i chart would surely mean ruin for the chaos i will inevitably impart
i may never make it back to albuquerque+ i hope you all outlive me+ i might not be the man i used to be+ but i’m desperate to understand each ambiguous demand on the marquee
