[Verse 1]We've been testing youAnd you failedTo see how long that you could sit with the truth, but you bailedI don't think you even recognize the loss of controlI don't think you even see it in yourselfSee, every one of us is counting dice that we didn't rollAnd the loser is the last to ask for help[Chorus]Be afraid, be very afraidBut do it anywayDo it anyway[Verse 2]The stage belongs to you, and you feel like a starAnd you can bark and snap like a dog at the man who just tuned your guitarAnd I don't think you even recognize the kid in the wingsAnd I don't think you even see her in yourselfShe looks to you for what to do with all her delicate dreamsBut you're too terrified to be of any help[Chorus]Be afraid, be very afraidDo it anywayDo it anywayBe afraid, be very afraidDo it anywayDo it anyway[Bridge]And we don't take requestsWe won't shut up and singTell the truth enoughYou'll find it rhymes with everything[Verse 3]We've been testing youAnd you failedTo see how long that you could hold it in before you screamed, but you only exhaledI don't think you even recognize the sound of your voiceWhen it's blasting through the speakers in the skyAnd if your words add up to nothing, then you're making a choiceTo sing a cover when we need a battle cry[Chorus]Be afraid, be very afraidDo it anywayDo it anywayBe afraid, be very afraidDo it anywayDo it anywayBe afraid, be very afraidDo it anywayDo it anywayBe afraid, be very afraidDo it anywayDo it anyway
