"Childhood thoughts make me sick,
Longing for what I'm remembering.
Cemeteries and cigars, Friday nights in the pastor's yard
Trampolines are the best to see the Midwest stars.
But dreams start to disappear when you realize fear,
and you know you might be nothing, at least nothing great.
So these nights are all I have, seconds from sleep, but I can't relax
Because I know I am at the bottom, I am nothing...
But I'm not done."
