Hey pal, it’s me again. I know it gets rough sometime, and maybe it feels like life will never end. But. I’m on the edge, and I’m a little scared. I’m lucky I have such great allies. Such friends. If you ever feel like how I’m feeling right now, just know, that I’m there for you. Okay?

Performance Anxiety

I had a visit from the unseen hand
He would tell me of a prophecy
Torture he planned
He’d sell me pain and worry for a comfort or two
Tell me who I ought to be
Like it’s what I got to do
I’m a
Shook little man
Shiver and scared
Looking life in the eye
Feeling less than prepared
When it’s in, I’m gone
Getting up without a dawn
Now I’m running for my life
Counting stars before the night

Take my ugly
Take my pain
Take my risk reward before
I know a gain
(I’m unfed
Well broken and red
Looking up to my villains for my daily bread)

Take my sorrow
Make me sane
I’m weird and that’s the monster
Make me plain
(And ride it with the beat ’cause)

So I’m sipping for the sunrise
Sopping with the rain
Prepping for the revelation
With a dull in my brain
‘Cause I can’t juggle more
Than I’m taking right now
But if you’re looking for performance
Line me up, I’ll take the bow
