Messing Up
I was on this stage not that long ago
with less people
Yet suddenly their are thousands of more people
It feels like I´ve been here for 80 years
I am such a mess
so nervous I can´t remember what I´m supposed to do
my legs aren´t working
I could fall any second now
the audience looks so judgemental, and cruel
pointing, chatting, laughing, recording
I was so confident
until I looked into the endless ocean of the crowd
I tried to ignore it
But all I could think of
was every one of my haters remarks
and all I could think of
was when will this end
when can I get off this stage
and hide
but I couldn´t run
so I couldn´t hide
I had stayed and
all the haters remarks
turned into distant echoes
and thats when everyone started cheering
while I was just doing the best I could
under pressure, pressure
words all around
but there's no silence, silence
makes me wanna run
but they say I´m great
great
whispers all around
but I won´t hear them
for I am simply for gramps
too busy doing all I can
to not mess up
for messing up is awful
