Let You Know
Been up all night
just trying to make a good thing,
wound up too tight
still trying to find my good thing
Yesterday
I would have jumped in your car
and drive that beast
to wherever you are,
but I just don't go
No, I don’t go
I just don’t go
No, I just don’t go
been sittin' tight
trying to keep my world sane,
but nothing's right
sometimes it feels like black rain
little flowers fall
all over the ground,
but who can see them
over the sound
of we just don't know
No, we just don't know
watch them grow
we've got to watch them grow
turn off your tv
run here and see
the bluest of skies
kissing the trees,
the way that a day
rolls out in a dare,
and the light
in your beautiful hair
I thought I'd say
some things that I've been thinking
just in case
everything starts sinking
what I wouldn't give
to kiss you instead,
as the blackbird sings
on top of your head,
I should Let you know
I should Let you know
I should Let you know
I love your show
I should Let you know
I should Let you know
I should Let you know
I should Let you know
I love you so

Truth

Truth
She snuck out in the night
With a sky deep black
She ran off into the woods
And she won’t come back
And years from now
She may learn how to forgive
How we never stepped in
Never showed her how to live
She lost her innocence and she lost her hope
And then she lost her youth
And I heard she’s living in Las Vegas now
And she changed her name to Truth
And she never will forgive
That we didn’t stop the blows
That we never stood up
And what we never did expose
And when we had our chance
To do the right thing
We ran back inside
And we sat before the king
She lost her innocence and she lost her hope
And then she lost her youth
And I heard she’s living in Las Vegas now
And she changed her name to Truth
So don’t turn away
And don’t it down
We could have had her stay
With just a sound
And years from now
When we’re living all alone
In our last few years
Truth will call us on the phone
But it won’t mean a thing
When it’s coming from a girl
That just feels sad
For this failed world
She lost her innocence and she lost her hope
And then she lost her youth
And I heard she’s living in Las Vegas now
And she changed her name to Truth
She lost her innocence and she lost her hope
And then she lost her youth
And I heard she’s living in Las Vegas now
And she changed her name to Truth

It Ain’t Over
Well I’ve been locked inside my head
For a year and twenty days
But I can’t find the key that you’ve hidden
Down below this purple haze
And now you’ve come to set me free
And I can go back to my land
But I can’t believe a thing you say to me
So I will stay right where I am
It ain’t over
It ain’t over
There’s just too much to lose
I won’t Leave
No I won’t go
And you can’t make me choose
Well this all sounds so sweet
But I know it can’t be real
I won’t make it ten feet from this door
Before I taste your steel
Now I’ve seen wars like this before
And I’m sure that I won’t win
But I won’t leave no I ain’t coming out
And I know you ain’t coming in
It ain’t over
It ain’t over
Just too much to lose
I won’t Leave
No I won’t go
And you can’t make me choose

Falling All Apart
We can’t talk anymore
And I don’t know where you are
And I don’t know what to do
Cause I’m…
Falling all apart
Falling all apart
Around you
And I just can’t stop
You don’t recognize me anymore
And I can’t see where you are
And I don’t want to see you slip away
But you're falling all apart
Falling all apart
Around me
And you just
And you just won’t stop
And as the sun falls down
And the daylight fades
I don’t know how to turn away
From this world
I can see the storm coming down
And the sea is rising to your door
And everywhere I look anymore
It’s falling all apart
Falling all apart
Around us
And it just won’t stop
It’s falling all apart…

Percy’s Song
I’m on my knees
down in the gutter
With no stars
above my head
Just a gun
against my temple
And a book
of hope and dread
I will die tonight
Like so many nights before
But she will come and claim my body
And she’ll bring me to her door
(and she will) strap me to the table
(and she will) raise me to the sky
(and she will) Make the sparks fall down like lightning
She will bring me back to life
She will bring me back to life
I am here
Among these vampires
As they lure
My soul away
And I know
I can’t go with them
But I know
that I can’t stay
And I will die tonight
like so many nights before
But she will come and claim my body
And she will bring me to her door
(and she will) strap me to the table
(and she will) raise me to the sky
(and she will) Make the sparks fly all around me
She will bring me back to life
She will bring me back to life
I can feel the rain that’s falling on my face
I can hear the thunder all around me
I can feel the current as it passes through my flesh
And I can feel her grace surround me
Now the nails
Are being hammered
And the light
Begins to fade
I hear the dirt drop on me
And I’m here
Where I am laid
And I will die tonight
like so many nights before
But she will come and claim my body
And she’ll bring me to her door
(and she will) strap me to the table
(and she will) raise me to the sky
(and she will) Make the sparks fly all around me
She will bring me back to life
She will bring me back to life
She will bring me back to life

Surprised
I know it’s been so long
I probably should have known
That you would turn up gone
today
And I cannot forget
The weakness of my bet
And I would soon regret
My play
Cause I was living in the past
When we were falling fast
And looking at the last
Replay
But you were talking straight
My move had been to late
And we could only wait
And pray
(Chorus)
And I’m always surprised
At everything you tell me
When I see you
And I’m always surprised
By everything you say
The rain was falling down
So hard we could have drowned
and we didn’t make a sound
That’s true
You climbed into you car
But you wouldn’t get to far
Cause it showed every scar
On you
You drove off in the night
I watched the fading light
As the sky had turned from white
To blue
I fell into my bed
With the dreams of things you said
And the paths that could have led
To you
(Chorus)
And I’m always surprised
By everything you show me
When I’m with you
And I’m always surprised
By everything you do
And now I just collide
With all the thoughts I hide
And I am left here wide
Awake
Thinking every thought
Of all the things you brought
And the things that you forgot
To take
And when you tried say good bye
I thought It sounded like a lie
But that was always my
Mistake
And Now I sing this song
But the Melody’s all wrong
And the verses are to long
To take
Chorus
And I’m always surprised
At everything you shatter
As you leave me
And I’m always surprised
By everything you break
La la la la la (etc)

Ghosts in Oklahoma

Ghosts in Oklahoma
There are ghosts in Oklahoma
Of a people once wiped out
And if you listen very closely
You can hear the spirits shout
For justice never given
And for justice not received
There are ghosts in Oklahoma
And they must be believed
There are ghosts in Oklahoma
From a dark and distant time
And their blood trails can be followed
To the Mississippi line
And the memory of a people
That we buried in the clay
But The ghosts in Oklahoma
Will never let them fade away
Will this feeling ever leave me
Will it always be this way
There are ghosts in Oklahoma
But they simply will not say
There are ghosts in Oklahoma
But they will not tell us when
The world will be repaired
Of the damage caused by men
From The fires that were started
And the flames that came by turn
That We seemed to just keep feeding
While praying they won't burn
There are ghosts in Oklahoma
Of a people once wiped out
And if you listen very closely
You can hear the spirits shout
For justice never given
And for justice not received
There are ghosts in Oklahoma
And they must be believed

Overflow
So, the rain came down
To the overflow
And it washed away your pain
Then the water rose
Past the overflow
Till your tears could not remain
Then you raised up your hand
And you found you can stand
Through this rain
And the rain came down
To the overflow
And it lifted me again
Then my body rose
Past the overflow
And I drifted back to sane
Then I saw what I know
And I was sure that I could go
Through this rain
And I will find you again
Every time you drift away
And you’ll see nothing
No nothing
Will change
And the rain came down
To the overflow
It washed us both away
And as we drift
To the shore
On this love
That you bore
We will see
Something more
Than this rain
