Be Afraid

We've been testing you
 And you failed
 To see how long
 That you could sit with the truth
 But you bailed
 I don't think you'd 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 he 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'd even recognize a 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 the 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 failed
 To see how long that you could hold it in
 Before you scream
 But you only exhaled
 I don't think you even recognize the sound of your voice
 When it's blasting through the speakers in the sky
 And if your words add up to nothing, then you're making a choice
 To sing a cover when you 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
