Welcome to the Show Lyrics

Heartbeat's throwing off my rhythm

Like a drum machine bumping out of time

But I'm vibrating like the sound system

So that must mean that I'm doing fine

I told everyone I had a show to give 'em

Come on out if you're feeling so inclined

I told everybody bring a friend with 'em

But if everybody did I'd lose my mind

Cause I don't wanna be here but it's good for my health

And I want a career like I want nothing else

So I gotta power through

Do shit I don't wanna do

I've been a stubborn-ass baby since September the twelfth

But I can't let you know that I got nothing to say

It's the same shit in the same toilet, different day

So I wrote you a story 'bout a man that I'll portray

Because fuck the truth, the movie's always better anyway

Yo

Welcome to the show

Here's something you oughta know about a dude like me

I'm a bit shy

But I'm not a shit guy

Quiet cause I'm reminding myself to breathe

Lead a boring life

No conflict, no strife

So I got a guise more interesting

Like an actor

An important factor

End of this track I'll no longer be Reed

Don't wanna sound like an ass

Not a social butterfly

I'm like a worm in the grass

I hope that everybody who showed up has a blast

But it'd be a total lie to say I want it to last

So I hide behind a mask, or at least a costume

Something real bad ass

Don't ask what it cost, dude

Some people spit facts

I'll spit plotlines and cues

If you came to see my ass you can mind your P's and Q's

I know it's polite to stay and see the whole show

But I'd like to go home and see my bong

But my dream is way far out of my comfort zone

And I've been stocking veggies far too long

And I'm nervous as shit but there's one thing you can bet

I've been working like a bitch and I've been breaking a sweat

So you're either 'bout to see the best you've seen of me yet

Or you're 'bout to see the reason my name rhymes with regret

Reed Stepp

Yo

Welcome to the show

Here's something you oughta know about a dude like me

I'm a bit shy

But I'm not a shit guy

Quiet cause I'm reminding myself to breathe

Lead a boring life

No conflict, no strife

So I got a guise more interesting

Like an actor

An important factor

End of this track

Now I'm no longer Reed
