MM#92 Severance Day (new)

Well, when you throw the word "Severance" in a Spotify search engine, you get a bunch of songs.  This one is the one that made it onto other playlists.  And, frankly, it's a screamer.
But, for a city that I called home for 9 years, 5 months, and 5 days, it kinda fits.  From April 2004 to September 2013.

Severance, KS. population 94.  No grocery store, no post office, no churches, no cafe, no school.  Had to go out of town for any of those.
Politics was a mess - and that was a long story and a generator of many blogs.
I was lonely, isolated, and burning gas like it was going out of style.
But the water of the Wolf River flows through my veins.  I was born in Leavenworth, but I'll always be a little bit Wolf.

Call this restitute

Call this open truth

Call this my salute

Call this severance

Call this retribute

Call this misspent youth

Call this my abise

This is my severance day

My way

And it's all of my soul that i give

And it's my way

Call this non-dilute

Call this ill repute

Call this tainted fruit

Call this severance

Call this over-shoot

Call this double proof

Call this my uproot

This is my severance day
