Veterans Affairs
The New Trust

Sun, come bleach my guilty bones
For times when Iâ€™d ignore the phone
Thinking on the thousand miles he crossed to see me

Iâ€™m not the son I used to be
I start to see red, literally
I canâ€™t explain
Itâ€™s been this way since I got home

I knew a serviceman who leapt from planes
He was a grandfather with a childâ€™s heart
When he returned, he suffered constant pain
And had to medicate before his day could start
â€˜Til at the end, when he took all his pills at once
And he chased them down with alcohol
Some would say he finally stopped the pain
But I would argue that he left it to us all

Dani B, ear to the soldiersâ€™ trauma
As contagious as anything science has seen
The men theyâ€™ve been
The place men seldom return from
By men, I mean 22 year old boys

A tumbler sails across the room
And shatters, nearly killing you
â€œWhat the fuck? Didnâ€™t you ever see The Grifters?â€
Iâ€™m not the man I used to be
Something changed in me
