He was thrown from the tallest tower
Fall into something that is unknown.
You never see the pain in a man
Until it's gone.
As he falls the wind pushes his hair back.
Something he's known before.
Just like Ma' used to do when she promised toys
How different it feels now, a promise of something more.
Where do I go to escape this sorrow?
I've never met a man that doesn't want to go.
As he lay within the twisted metal of his own grave
You can see the flares flicker from far away.
You can hear the ocean weep as the ambulance repeats
Mamma clucthin Pappa's hand as they tremble at the scene.
I wish you could've seen your friends and family, everything you leave.
As she lay upon her bed which is too perfectly made.
Her breath is short and struggling to meet the air.
I fight back tears as I walk in, my brother says, "Take this."
I swallow it and for a moment I've forgotten why I'm here.
Tommy James.
Cody James.
Delores names,
"Daniel James"
