It’s the calm before the storm which I think I fear the most
Every one of my selves has gone out to play while I just play the host
There’s so much to do and so much to say and so many people to be
But just how much of the promised land will I get to see?
Every time I get the confidence to maybe be a success
I reel myself back into myself and so I settle for less
People would say I’m scared of the world everyone knows who I am
I’ve conquered all the media on every talk show just because I can
My shiny plastered makeup face is painted on the wall
A giant egotistical framework standing ten stories tall
But soon I come crashing down like fads trends and all
And then what’s left of my success as I gaze through the hole in the wall
I want the money but I don’t want the taxes
I want recognition but I don’t want the autographs
I want super stardom but I don’t want the stalking freaks
I want success but I really don’t
