Practicing every day and every night
Repeated it thousands of times, never getting it right
Flash forward, standing on the stage
Only a couple minutes, feeling like an age
Lights are on
Pressure is on
So come on what are you gonna say?
Sending out the words to create an atmosphere of confidence
A veil to cover the truth until the lies become their own reality
Sweat stops, heart beat quickens, excitement flurries from absence
Sentences shooting out with such force like a demon’s been set free
Mouth moving, soul screaming, as the words come pouring out
Lights on, pressure on, flowing like a river, expunging doubt
Minutes, their only minutes, though they’re feeling like an eternity
Lights fade, emotion evaporates, show’s over nothing left to see
All words needing to be spoken have been set free
