We've been testing you, and you fail To see how long that you could sit with the

Travis but you bail And I don't think you 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 we 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 even recognize the 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 her 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 fail

To see how long that you could hold it in before you scream

But you only exhale

And I don't think you even recognize the sound of your voice

When it's blasting through the speakers in the sky

That if your words add up to nothing then you're making a choice

To sing a cover when we 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

Be afraid, be very afraid
