THINGS I SHOULD LET YOU KNOW
NEW WORLD I SEE
IF I TOLD YOU ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THAT I FEAR THE MOST
IF I THREATENED YOU WITH FAILURE OR LOSING CONTROL
WOULD YOU HOLD ON TO ME G A BLANKET OF BELIEF AND
NEVER LET GO G THERE ARE THINGS I SHOULD LET YOU
KNOW G IF I TOLD YOU THAT IT’S JUST TOO EASY FOR ME TO
LOSE MY MIND G IT’S JUST ONE STEP LEFT FROM WHERE I
STAND MOST OF THE TIME G WOULD YOU REMEMBER MY
NAME AND KISS ME SANE G TELL ME THAT I’M NOT ALONE
THERE ARE THINGS I SHOULD LET YOU KNOW G IF I SHOWED
YOU THE BLACK CROW THAT KEEPS ME SCREAMING IN MY
SLEEP G HE SITS WATCHING IN THE GARDEN WHERE I BURY
EVERYTHING G COULD YOU SEE THROUGH ME, DIG UP THE
SEEDS G TELL ME DARKNESS WILL NOT GROW G THERE ARE
THINGS I SHOULD LET YOU KNOW

MAN I USED TO BE
FEEL THE BOTTOM FALL OUT, I’M LOSING CONNECTION G HEAR
THE VOICE BREAK UP, HEAR THE STATIC SCREAM G SOMEWHERE
IN THE CONCRETE I LOST RECEPTION G FROM WHO I AM AND
WHO I THOUGHT I’D BE G PROFITS AND POETS PACKAGED
AND TENDERED G THE HEART AS WE KNOW IT IS NOTHING
BUT SKIN G USED TO KNOW WHAT I WANTED BUT NOW I CAN’T
REMEMBER G IF I GAVE IT UP OR JUST GAVE IN G DOES
ANYONE KNOW G HOW TO GET BACK FROM HERE G BACK TO
THE MAN I USED TO BE G DOES ANYONE KNOW G HOW TO
JUST DISAPPEAR G WHERE’S THE MAN I USED TO BE G ALL
OF MY MEMORIES HAVE BEEN SCATTERED G NOW I PICK UP
THE PIECES ONE BY ONE G THEY TRY AND TELL YOU NONE
OF THIS WILL MATTER G CAN I STILL CHANGE WHAT I’VE
BECOME G WHO’S THAT LOOKING AT ME?

PUSHED JACK TO THE GROUND G THEN THE CLICHÈ GOT TO
ME G LOVE TOOK HOLD NOW ALL I SEE G IS SOUTH
CAROLINA G WHERE THE ROCKING CHAIR SWAYS G SHE
DREAMS OF A WRAP-AROUND PORCH AND SNAPPING PEAS
ALL DAY G I USED TO LAUGH AT THE SIMPLE WAY G NOW IT’S
A NEW WORLD I SEE G SHE’S FIVE FOOT FIVE G WITH BIG
BROWN EYES G SHE DON’T EAT MEAT G BUT SHE CAN EAT
YOU ALIVE G I’M A NORTHERN STAR G SMITTEN BY THE
SOUTHERN SKY G KENTUCKY KEEP YOUR WHISKEY G GEORGIA
KEEP YOUR PEACH G MY CAROLINA IS SWEETER THAN SWEET

PLASTIC SOLDIERS
I HAD GRASS STAINS FOR SCARS G EIGHT YEARS OLD IN MY
BACKYARD G I PLAYED WITH ARMY MEN IN THE BLUE SKY
AFTERNOON G OUT OF THE PINE TREES AND SAP PLASTIC
SOLDIERS WOULD ATTACK G IN MY IMAGINARY WARS I LED
PLATOONS G COME HOME SOLDIER G DINNER’S GETTING
COLDER G IT’S TIME TO PUT YOUR TOYS AWAY G MARCHING
ORDERS G BACKYARD BORDERS G YOU WILL LIVE TO FIGHT
ANOTHER DAY G PUT THE PLASTIC SOLDIERS AWAY G AT AN
ARMY BASE IN KABUL I WAS 19 KICKING UP GRAVEL G FROM
THE HUMVEE, A FLASH OF LIGHT BURST THROUGH THE FLOOR
AN RPG AND METAL SCRAPED, THE SHRAPNEL TOOK BOTH MY
LEGS G NOW LIVING IN THIS BODY G I’M A PRISONER OF
WAR G A BOX OF SOLDIERS FROM THE ATTIC G GI JOES WITH
AUTOMATICS G TOYS I SAVED TO PASS DOWN TO MY OWN
HE WAS RUNNING THROUGH THE BACK YARD G WEARING
PAGE 3
THE CRADLE G IT WAS ALL A BEDTIME FABLE THAT FOOLED
ME FOR SO LONG G THAT’S WHERE I WENT WRONG G EMPTY
BOTTLES BROKEN, FISHNETS TORN UPON THE SIDEWALK
RUNNING NAKED THROUGH THE GARDEN G CAN YOU HEAR
THE NEIGHBORS TALK? G AND WHEN YOU FINALLY CAME
UNRAVELED G IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I FELT BALANCED
MINE WAS JUST THE HEART FOR YOU TO CHALLENGE
DOORKNOB TURNING, I COULD BE YEARS FROM LEARNING
WHY G MOVING ON STARTS WITH GOODBYE G HOW LONG
HAVE I BEEN SLEEPING? G HOW LONG HAVE MY EYES BEEN
SEWN? G WIDE AWAKE BUT I AM DREAMING OF G POPPIES
ON THE TABLE G A BLANKET IN THE CRADLE G IT WAS ALL
A BEDTIME FABLE THAT FOOLED ME FOR SO LONG G THAT’S
WHERE I WENT WRONG

OH LOVE I’VE BEEN CRYING OUT FOR YOU G CAN YOU
HEAR THE WHISPER G MY HEART CAN’T KEEP STANDING
UP FOR YOU G I CAN SMELL THE TIMBER G THERE’S TINSEL
ON THE KITTEN G CHRISTMAS ON THE FLOOR G YOU’RE
STONED ON THE SOFA G MY BAG’S BY THE DOOR G LEAVE
EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL BEHIND A SLAMMING DOOR G OH
MOMMA I KNOW I AM LOST TODAY G I CAN’T FIND MY WAY
BACK HOME G THIS ROAD ALWAYS BECKONS ME AWAY G MY
WHEELS SPIN OUT IN THE SNOW G I THINK ABOUT ELVIS AND
HOW LONELY HE HAD BEEN G I THINK ABOUT JESUS AND I
THINK ABOUT THE SINS G I THINK EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL
COMES FROM BROKEN G I’VE BEEN KEEPING ALL MY NEW
SONGS OUT OF VIEW G I’VE SAID A THOUSAND TIMES THEY ARE
NOT ABOUT YOU G JUST TWO BLIND PEOPLE WHO WILL NEVER
SEE G WE’VE TRAVELED TOO FAR TO GIVE UP GRACEFULLY
PAGE 4
WE TOOK WHAT WAS MAGICAL G MADE IT UNRECOGNIZABLE
POLISHED AND SHINED IT TO PERFECTION G FILLED CRACKS,
WANTING LOVE TO SHINE ON BACK G BUT NOW IT ONLY
SHOWS OUR OWN REFLECTION G A PINCHING PAIN AND A
VAIN SUCCESS G IN TRULY FINDING LONELINESS G IT WILL
MARK YOUR LOVE WITH PASSION AND DEVOTION G OH BABY

I AM ONLY AS LOVED AS I AM OPEN
IN EVERY MAN THERE IS A HOUSE G A HAUNTED FRAME
FILLED WITH PHOTOGRAPHS G DRAWN ARE THE SHADES
THIS PLACE UNSPOKEN G I AM ONLY AS LOVED AS I AM
OPEN G ONCE FELT THE WIND BLOW G I TAPED THE WINDOWS
I LOCKED THE DOOR AND BATTENED DOWN THE HATCH
’TWAS WHEN THE DAWN BROKE G I SAW THE LIGHT PROVOKING
I AM ONLY AS LOVED AS I AM OPEN G IT’S NOT HARD FOR A
HEART TO GET TANGLED UP G TOOK ME YEARS TO LET MINE
FILLETH OVER G NOW HERE I KNEEL G IN WHITES AND ROSES
THE PEELING YEARS COME WITH THIS RING OF GOLD G I CRIED
A TEAR G AND IN THAT AN OCEAN G I AM ONLY AS LOVED AS
I AM OPEN G I AM ONLY AS LOVED AS I AM OPEN

IN MY HEAD G YOU CAN GET THEM TO BE QUIET G COULD
YOUR LOVE BE THE LINEMAN G WHO REWIRES THE CIRCUITS
WITH HOPE AND PASSION G I’M AFRAID OF REJECTION G IF
I STRIP RIGHT THROUGH IT G I’M BOUND TO MAKE THAT

TOO HARD TO HOLD THE MOON
SHE TAKES HER COFFEE DIFFERENT EACH DAY G I’VE ONLY
SEEN HER SMILE WHEN SHE CRIES G JUST AS I AM
LEARNING ALL THE STAGES TO HER WAY G SHE TEARS ME
LIKE THE TOUGHEST OF TIDES G SHE SAYS, “I DON’T THINK
YOU UNDERSTAND THE HURT HERE G WHEN ALL MY LIGHT IS
A MIRAGE G I CAN’T SHOW YOU NOTHING REAL G I ONLY
REFLECT WHAT YOU FEEL G AND IT FEELS LIKE YOU’LL BE
FOLDING SOON” G IT’S TOO HARD TO HOLD THE MOON G SHE
HAS GOT A WAY WITH THE STARS G BUT SHE CAN BE SO
HARSH AND COLD G I SEE HER THROUGH THE PINE TREES
ON THE HIGHWAY IN MY CAR G MY BABY ALWAYS FOLLOWS
ME HOME G SHE SAYS, “HONEY MY HEART IS ALWAYS
WANING G AND I CAN’T BEAR THIS LETTING DOWN G SOON
YOU’LL LEAVE LIKE EVERYONE G LOVE CAN ONLY BLOCK THE
SUN G IT’S TOO SOON ’TIL HIGH NOON G AND TOO HARD TO
HOLD THE MOON” G I DON’T THINK YOU GIVE A DAMN ABOUT
CHANGING G YOU KEEP THE DARKNESS ON ONE SIDE G SOON
YOU’LL PUSH OUT EVERYONE G BUT LOVE IS BRIGHTER
THAN THE SUN G AND NO ONE’S GONNA LOVE YOU LIKE I
DO G WELL I TRIED G WELL I TRIED G WELL I TRIED TO
LOVE THE MOON

POPPIES ON THE TABLE
JUST A TRACE OF A CIGARETTE WHEN I KISSED YOUR MOUTH
TURNED MY WORLD FROM SANE AND TRUE G NOW I’M
INSIDE OUT G ALL OF YOUR SMOKE WAS BLINDING, CHOKING
NOW I HAVE COME TO THIS G YOURS WAS NOT THE MOUTH
I SHOULD HAVE KISSED G DOORKNOB TURNING, I COULD
