Nauticus Lyrics by The Northern

Solstice

2016

I once was a boy who followed the American Dream
Get a job get a house get a wife
Was always told that's the life
Well I'm sick of pretending
Being something I'm not
I'm sick of the yearning for something I don’t need
You can keep living your dream but I can't say I care
I'm tired of selling
I love you and I'm ending this nightmare
I’m trapped in the undertow
It pulls me under as it fills my lungs
Is there a way out?
Now I'm feeling the undertow and told I'm right where I should be. So why do I feel so empty?
The ups and downs they come and they go;
But am I right where I should be?
Oh, I don't know why I feel so empty
Why do I feel so empty?
No one should feel this way every single day
Feeling so empty
You had me sleepwalking for years
But I’ve awoken from this
SLUMBER
Take time to study my words
You’ve done enough damage to last me a lifetime
It's the first time and last time I’ll say:
You're a cancerous soul
I can finally breathe without you here to show me the way
Now I'm feeling the undertow and told I'm right where I should be. So why do I feel so empty?
The ups and downs they come and they go;
But am I right where I should be?
Oh, I don't know why I feel so empty
