lyrics

I picked up my guitar, and I tried to write a song
But it was a little too short, and then it was too long
"Okay that part is stupid, let's move this one around"
Trying every different kind of drug to write something profound

But all I keep writing is shit
People won't like this one bit

I put on an image, and I act like I don't care
But the truth is fear of judgement fills me with dispair
I am terrified to get up on a stage
What if I forget the lyrics or I forget how to play?

I am afraid of you all
I am afraid of you all

I lie to other people, say I write songs for myself
But if that really were the truth, why would I share with someone else?
I'm a walking contradiction, I'm a hypocrite
I need to just embrace it, I need to just submit

People won't like all my songs
But that doesn't mean something's wrong

Lately I've been thinking about my legacy
How will I be remembered? Will I have a family?
Music's just expression, like writing on a wall
I need to scribble harder, embrace it warts and all

This is my chance to be heard
It's time to break free from the herd
But I am afraid of you all
I am afraid of you all
