Written, produced, and performed by Renn Boensch.

"Used To Be Great" is a partially satirical track I wrote about writer's block and imposter syndrome. I used a very specific kind of nihilistic narration to note the difference between my sixteen-year-old self and my current self. I state dryly that at sixteen, I was at least doing something, rather than being too scared to put out any music at all.

Lyrics:
I used to live inside a room
Where I believed
Nothing could hurt me

I did the talking
And the answering too
'Cause who else would know me
Better than me?

Well, I used to be great
And now I don't sing
Now I don't say anything

God, I didn't think that it would ever
Be this hard to write a song
