The Stage

I took to the stage
To act my age
I stood there naked
Unashamed
I started to sing
And lost my sight
And stayed that way
For the rest of the night
And I’m trying hard to understand
The weight of the gift, the lay of the land
Sometimes this
Kills
Me
When life was a drag
I packed my bags
Took to the road
To save my soul
Then shots rang out
The lights came on
The air stood still, and it all got real
And I’m tryin' hard to understand
The weight of the gift, the lay of the land
Sometimes this
Kills
Me
Took to the stage
To act my age
I stood there naked
Unashamed
I started to scream
And lost my sight
And stayed that way for the rest of the night
And I’m tryin' hard to understand
The weight of the gift, the lay of the land
Sometimes this
Kills
Me
Yes sometimes, this
Kills
Me
