I was informed earlier ago that there was an open mic night tonight.
So needless to say I am not prepared for this.
But I have been telling myself for weeks that I would get up here on this stage
And show you who I really am
But now I just wish that this mic stand was enough to hide behind
But it's not
And knowing that you can all see me from no matter where you're sitting terrifies me
And I think to myself of all the things I could be doing
Meaningless, pointless, stupid stuff
That doesn't make a difference to anyone, not even to me
And I realize that there is no other place I would rather be
