If I wAs a folK singeR

lyrics

If I was a folk singer..
my words could shake the earth.
people sit crossed legged on the floor
to hear my voice cry out over beautiful chords.

& all of the boys would sing
while driving their cars or house cleaning..
& our thoughts could then relate
with every metaphor put in refrain.
I'd write poetry on the walls of broken hearts
of lonely dolls.
You could play me on the radio,
for your Mom,
your Dad,
your kids,
your Grandpa Joe.
All the wolves inside your head..
I'd chase away,
yes I'd protect you while you lay down in your bed
drunk and spinning from another weekend.
I'd play all of the little notes
that lets you love,
lets you float
high above the day gone by..
helps you enjoy your next sip of time… …

But you'd just break me in two..
with every thought of you
is like torture porn or gonzo games
you look at me like I enjoy this pain..
When my voice cracks like lightning, feels like thunder on a cold wet window pane.

If I was a folk singer
my words would shake the earth..
people would stand and sing
like a choir of suffering.
