Story Behind The Song
This is an Ayn Rand reference. A person who finds the experience of life to be beyond their grasp is living in the Nightmare Universe. It's like finding yourself in the middle of an impossibly difficult obstacle course. This song is not a celebration of this place, but an acceptance of it and encouragement to find the way out no matter what it takes.

Lyrics
I hear a thousand voices
Outside of my door
Each day a thousand choices
I'm left to endure
When you've come full circle
And you don't know where you are
And you don't trust anyone
'Cause you don't want fresh scars on your scars
Where is this flourishing life?
I'm gonna smash the window to my universe
I let a monster grow inside of me
I left a searching child to die of thirst
When you've made a whole circle
Still you don't know where you are
And you don't trust anyone
'Cause you don't want fresh scars on your scars
