On stage breaking waves, first tread upon it quietly Never truly overcame the anxiety Fifteen years, stomach still unsettled Pilgrimage the homeland, the mecca, the temple God damn, leave you sentimental like slow jam Swan dive into the abyss you know, the old plan Never land, voices ring into infinity Echo from the hills to the desert to the seven seas Eternal sands moving through the hour glass Showering a burning man hoping that it counteracts Time running circles, chasing us around the map Unclaimed memories lost in all the browser tabs (how was that?) Broken dreams, yeah we grew them into bigger things Fires of hell that fed the sails, afloat even on broken wings Phoenix screams, you can't silence all the whiling A dragon in the path of no concern to all the wildings Can't succumb to the static, illusionist tactics Emotions erratic, numb but ecstatic And I'm here in the spotlight The Spotlight Caught up in the spotlight. The Spotlight Can't succumb to the static, illusionist tactics Emotions erratic, numb but ecstatic And I'm here in the spotlight The Spotlight Caught up in the spotlight. The Spotlight Icewater dive as I step to the mic Quick glance at the crowd try to focus my sight And my eyes locked with the back row Fire in my lungs, Saltwater in my throat So. Moments left to go, the rush before the show Control, this is where the rubber meets the road Fake it til we make it was the ever-modern tactic Finally we made it, but still faking out of habit Halfway through the track, the power's coming back Remember why you started almost stumble over that See somebody vibing, and it kinda does distract But you save it with the cadence and little bitty laugh Emeritus, dependent on adrenaline to carry us Embarked upon the journey where beginning steps are perilous Metabolized engagement building ego til nefarious Relief, a vicious cycle that repeats until they bury us Can't succumb to the static, illusionist tactics Emotions erratic, numb but ecstatic And I'm here in the spotlight The Spotlight Caught up in the spotlight. The Spotlight Can't succumb to the static, illusionist tactics Emotions erratic, numb but ecstatic And I'm here in the spotlight The Spotlight Caught up in the spotlight. The Spotlight
