Stage Fright

The cycle

Verse 1

What you see is what you know
How I feel is what I show
Playing my blues on the radio

Curtains blocking out the sun
Won't see me till after dawn
Don't be surprised if I'm really gone

Prechorus

Even when I think I'm doing better
My mind is just like the weather
The unpredictability
It's too deep
It's too deep

Chorus

So I wake up feeling good, try to get out of bed
I can't move, feeling shit, it's all in my head
So I stay still, cry a bit, fall back asleep
And I guess the cycle will repeat until I'm dead

Verse 2

Pain isn't free and it's not a choice
Fills my head of white noise
No good thoughts I can hardly think at all

Days go by it feels so fast
I don't know if I'm gonna last
My birthdays soon but I don't really care at all

Prechorus

Even when I've got that glimpse of hope
Life's an iceberg and my mind's the boat
Now it's merely sticks and stones
I can't cope
I can't cope

Chorus

But I wake up feeling good, try to get out of bed
I can't move, feeling shit, it's all in my head
So I stay still, cry a bit, fall back asleep
And I guess the cycle will repeat until I'm dead

Bridge

They give me pills
I chase the thrill
Exhilarant in all its finest forms
I take a break
But then I break
It's exhausting to try and conform
The curtains close
There's nothing to see, go!
I feel like I'm living on a stage
All eyes on me
Will I be free?
I'm frightened as I turn the final page

Chorus

And I wake up feeling good, try to get out of bed
I can't move, feeling shit, it's all in my head
So I stay still, cry a bit, fall back asleep
And I guess the cycle will repeat until I'm dead
