1.
Each word carries a shaky target Night obscures morning's regret When why doesn't yield an answer We pave the way for the absurd You won't stay where you are Where you are Where you are is in history's arms Where you are is where you belong Stay where you are Never coming home

Fences 04:08
I've walked these halls innumerable times As a child, my attention was elsewhere Things among things existed passively, left dormant, for no other purpose Except careless habit It's as if I've walked these halls unmindful Interacting with things familiar, yet unfamiliar in my everyday encounters Sites reappear when I perform the search, a strain on my erring memory The grainy, worn looking bookshelf cradling unread fictions I received As gifts from distant relatives Pictures frames outlining all our family portraits taken in Places I can't remember and biblical quotes In my everyday encounters Although I’ll never be able to go back to my childhood home, the remnants of memory keep me searching, changing and rebuilding the forgotten.

Cabin Song 05:05
The weather isn’t changing from the view where I reside Bridged the world to appear anyway the creator would like Confident in fictions I produce within my mind Define the way I see the figures outside Grown accustomed to the feeling of indifference Familiar with the idle form of my existence Encircled in your own private shell Trusting yourself, won’t be mistaken Incapable of recalling the chivalry expressed In the past, when society fit in the palm of my hand Before retreating to the inner cabin where I live I was blossoming, caring for others beside my own kind Alone, without recourse The normal isn’t normal to the others looking in In anyway, any form, any time, any place anyhow Grown accustomed to the loneliness, self pity Familiar with the objects that surround me Encircled in your own private shell Trusting yourself, won’t be mistaken You’ll never be wrong or right Nobody to witness your life, no agreement in sight

Remembrance 04:31
Isolated gem tangled in winter webs Spun out of control after years tightly bound To a memory, flickering underneath Keeping both our eyes aligned Cemetery grass circling photographs' Half beaten sun reflects unclear lines Statues shadows show us forgotten times Keeping both our hearts tied tight In our house built on December's snow
5.
Grace 02:36
I've traveled far without moving my feet Twenty two years chained to these streets A shallow soul searching for empathy Tonight the past will surrender on its knees Heaven, you're not that far Heaven, you're not that far Heaven, you're not that far to reach
