It happened again
Then is it passion cancelled?
Avocation termination?
I once was a musician
Can I fight through
The shakes, the uncontrollable shakes
It isn’t just nerves
It started with
My psychotic break
Broken, I’ve lost my confidence
It hurts to perform, not to perform
It used to be such a thrill
They all said it sounded good tonight
My friend said he noticed me shake
Did the audience?
As I started the song I wanted to stop
Run away
But the show had to go on
The song I was in the middle of
So I shook through it
Agony
Do I continue to fight through it every time?
Or is it over?
A man’s complaint in
A universe
Sown in corruption
And what have I to do with thee?
It is my song
Solo
Lyrics carved in my regret
Beyond blues, I sing these words
