Be Afraid

We've been testing you And you failed To see how long That you could sit with the truth But you bailed I don't think you'd even recognize the loss of control And I don't think you even see it in yourself See, every one of us is counting dice that he didn't roll And the loser is the last to ask for help Be afraid, be very afraid But do it anyway Do it anyway The stage belongs to you And you feel like a star And you can bark and snap like a dog At the man who just tuned your guitar And I don't think you'd even recognize a kid in the wings And I don't think you even see her in yourself She looks to you for what to do with all the delicate dreams But you're too terrified to be of any help Be afraid, be very afraid But do it anyway Do it anyway Be afraid, be very afraid But do it anyway Do it anyway And we don't take requests We won't shut up and sing Tell the truth enough You'll find it rhymes with everything We've been testing you And you failed To see how long that you could hold it in Before you scream But you only exhaled I don't think you even recognize the sound of your voice When it's blasting through the speakers in the sky And if your words add up to nothing, then you're making a choice To sing a cover when you need a battle cry Be afraid, be very afraid But do it anyway Do it anyway Be afraid, be very afraid But do it anyway Do it anyway Be afraid, be very afraid But do it anyway Do it anyway Be afraid, be very afraid But do it anyway Do it anyway
