Outside the Venue by Timothy Monger Lyrics

Outside the venue
Everything's so strange
Outside the venue
I don't even know my name
There are conflicts and changes
And troubles I can't mend
Outside the venue
I can never be myself

There's no protection
No stage where I can hide
It's full of roads left untaken
And songs I could not write
My coat is thinner
My spirit is less bright
Outside the venue
All my fears seem justified

Inside the venue
I know what to do
Unpack my gear
Meet the soundman, order food
Here I'm respected
I'm given three free drinks
It's where the day gets disconnected
It is where my work begins
So come and see me
Five will get you in
And for an evening
We can become friends
This is the life
There's nothing to it
Inside the venue
I can always go through with it
