Standing on a stage    Struggling to get his instrument in tune   People throwing vegetables and calling him a fraud   As they fall out of the room   He awakes at night with the fear   That this all might just disappear   But it scares him just the same   To think that his could all remain      Understanding why    We do what we do   Why we put ourselves    What we put ourselves through   When there’s no longer comfort    In your comfort zone   And you feel   Like you’re all alone      Self absorption never ending    Still the truth it keeps on bending   Feel like I’m pretending    To be something that I’m not   I gotta smooth it like Al Greene   Get funky like J.B.   Then stand up on my own two feet    And learn how to be me      I’m contradicting myself   I’m stealing from the past   I’m trying to slow it down   Because it feels like it’s too fast   And I’m awaking with the fear   That this all might disappear   But it scares me just the same    To think that this could all remain      Understanding why    We do what we do   Why we put ourselves    What we put ourselves through   When there’s no longer comfort    In your comfort zone   And you feel   Like you’re all alone      Like you’re all alone   All alone   All alone      Understanding why    We do what we do   Why we put ourselves    What we put ourselves through   When there’s no longer comfort    In your comfort zone   And you feel   Like you’re all alone      Well you’re not alone   Not alone   No you’re not alone anymore   Anymore   Anymore   Anymore
