Homesick and tired a hopeless feel And in a place you thought you never would So you drove home from Montana, Just to prove to yourself that you really could Headlights flash by gone easterly, The stripped line’s a friend you call your own. Drive way pulled gas light is on, The clock is wrong the past aint really gone May you never feel alone May you never feel alone May you never feel alone No more Postmodern class you choose your seat You’re in a place you thought you’d never sit Introductions made the future’s laid, Fate’s tendency’s to blindside just a bit Midwest regressed, a love confessed, A little fear but what would one expect? Like distance run, not always fun But when it’s done you know it was correct May you never feel alone May you never feel alone May you never feel alone No more Headed south, a holiday Scenery hung on O’Keefe’s easel You’ll drive yourself through desert Though this time you will not fear no evil Unlike before, no tears do pour Passenger filled you captain with a crew Road ahead, prophet unsaid It’s like the past, but know this to be true: May you never feel alone May you never feel alone May you never feel alone No more May you never feel alone May you never feel alone May you never feel alone No more

Trenches 04:55
I’ve been in the trenches I’ve watched them grow I’ve seen the trees go I’ve made my adventures I’ve climbed the tower I’ve painted them power This nostalgia’s memory without regret If simplicity’s poetry then I’ll take it back I’ve chosen my battles Spoke hope with more I’ve strived to scribe in its lore I may have been selfish Side effects justified Experience gave and gained I’ve tithed This nostalgia’s memory without regret If simplicity’s poetry then I’ll take it back

Deer 04:40
One deer at night two more at dawn I’ve seen the fawn, I see the doe My paradox’s par for the course I’ve made my choice To be heard Wrist watches broken in the past You’ve shed your cast I wined the pin A wealth once blinded both my eyes So now I strive To redeem Winters, and summers, and springs, and I fall Into Christmas and Easter and Halloween spent with no call So I’m kind of blue with a single rose and I ride this train just to keep on moving through Cause a mallard sings my name and it won’t stop Cause a mallard calls my name and it won’t stop The plate tectonics all have froze Winters this cold Can’t defrost A true man wouldn’t say such words But I aint heard Of such a man You prefer second hand so I’ll give you mine And I’ll do the best I can The best I can I ask you once I ask you twice Just to be nice You say just do Winters, and summers, and springs, and I fall Into Christmas and Easter and Halloween spent with no call So I’m kind of blue with a single rose and I ride this train just to keep on moving through Cause a mallard sings my name and it won’t stop Cause a mallard calls my name and it won’t stop One deer at night two more at dawn I’ve seen the fawn I see the doe One deer at night two more at dawn The drive is long But it goes fast One deer at night two more at dawn I stand among Future success One deer at night two more at dawn One thing I mourn The lack of time

Allegiance 04:01
Have I lost myself in polite flexibility? Perfectibility? Pusher and pushed both me? Family tree, species once known to be Called into question by mislabeled roots and leaves Feared/Named inferiority Will I find myself in this pledge of allegiance? Grief in my grievance? Guilt in my reverence? Displaced faith, redistributed doubtfully From father and son to postmodern philosophy I’m damned admittedly
