Hey, Blake! It's about time you had something up here! I guess I can't talk. I haven't exactly been burning up the board lately, myself. If this is rusty, then you should be rusty more often. [Linked Image] I think it's pretty darn solid. I really liked V1 - great imagery that pulls you in from the start. I only have a couple of nits. In the chorus, line 4 didn't do it for me. The "states" thing is the culprit. It's too impersonal, or something. I'd come up with something stronger, something more personal. In V2, I think the last line could be much stronger. "I'll have to make do" seems like filler to me. I know you can do better (don't you hate it when people say that? [Linked Image]). Other than those small nits, this looks good. Welcome back, Blake!
