1.
Nightmare 02:25
I know some others change their mind/ Burn out and leave this life behind/ For something simpler/ More safe and more secure/ Content to let content choke out their fire/ At times I fear that I'll fade the same way/ That the embers slowly will die out/ This is my worst nightmare/ To slowly rot away/ To watch my efforts compound as failures every day Should I just give up the ghost/ And let this chapter in life close?/ Move on to bitter days/ A life filled with malaise/ Fulfillment seems forever out of reach/ Each day one stop closer to my own grave/ But you gotta keep on truckin' anyway/
2.
This old, sick, familiar feeling/ Well, it keeps me up at night/ It makes me question my own instincts/ And it rattles my insides/ I can't stop staring at the ceiling/ Or retracing days' events/ Each step examined from all angles/ Until there's nothing left/ I just can't help but think/ How every ending might turn out/ Peace of mind's been abandoned/ Replaced with gnawing doubt/ This old, sick, familiar feeling/ Has replaced long nights of sleep/ I search for some type of distraction/ But there's none that I can see/
3.
Elk Antlers 02:58
Shaken, scared, unsure/ Return to the familiar/ Hoping he might find/ Sure footing on conviction/ Solid, safe, secure/ No risk or chance of failure/ Resolve became rigid/ And in the end he'd crack/ There are times that I can relate/ There are times that I can understand/ The world can seem overwhelming/ When not clear and whole/ Lost, alone, afraid/ No purpose or direction/ The days began to blur/ To blur until they'd stop/ Shaken, scared, unsure/ Return to the familiar/ But even that has changed/ It isn't static when you're gone/ There are times that I can relate/ There are times that I can understand/ Sense of purpose, once shattered/ Rarely returns/
