Creeping up beside a chair Take out my phone there's no one there Look down to give my eyes A valid place to hide A crowd surrounds the loudest voice Some laugh but I flinch from the noise And inch my way across the room To head outside Get up, get on my feet Drop the humility Get up, get on my feet It's always blocking me From getting where I want to be But not tonight, not tonight When I hear my voice I pause Distracted by performance flaws And worry that You might not understand my tone So I smile and maybe cough The tracks are there the train is off By now you might agree I'm better off alone Get up, get on my feet Drop the humility Get up, get on my feet It's always blocking me From getting where I want to be But not tonight, not tonight An overload of empathy I'm a self-induced victim of humility I'm chocking on timidity But not tonight Sometimes I'm not feeling strong Sometimes it seems I don't belong And I'm not up for one more day And everything won't be ok So I smile and maybe cough The tracks are there the train is off By now you might agree I'm better off alone Get up, get on my feet Drop the humility Get up, get on my feet It's always blocking me From getting where I want to be But not tonight, not tonight An overload of empathy I'm a self-induced victim of humility I'm chocking on timidity But not tonight
