What's this song about?

1
I drink a bottle everyday then step on the stage
2
I first knew something was wrong when I was half my age
3
One night while I was singing, I started to laugh,
4
I couldn't stop laughing for a week and a half
5
I'll never forget the girl in the first row,
6
She said, "But its not funny"
7
I said, "I know"
8
So I went to a shrink and he said to me,
9
"Just don't drink when you're nervous,
10
That's the key"
11
And I said, "Okay, that sounds fine"
12
I didn't tell him I was nervous all the time
13
So I kept on drinking,
14
And I kept on thinking
15
Wake up, you're dying now
16
You should be dead,
17
But you're not somehow
18
You think you're being brave,
19
But you're digging a grave
20
You talk like a master,
21
But you live like a slave
22
I started meditating, that worked for a while
23
I spent a lot of time alone,
24
And I forgot how to smile
25
I went to church, I'd just sit there and stew
26
Thinking, "How can all these people believe things that aren't true"
27
It seems to work well for them, why can't I?
28
I guess it's 'cause I'm special
29
'Cause I'm too smart a guy
30
Too smart
31
Wake up, you're dying now
32
You should be dead,
33
But you're not somehow
34
You think you're being brave,
35
But you're digging a grave
36
You talk like a master,
37
But you live like a slave
38
I decided that I couldn't do it alone
39
I called a guy I know on a telephone
40
I told him all I ever wanted was to be perfect
41
I sure as hell don't wanna be an alcoholic
42
Acceptance is a doorway to hell,
43
If you're on the wrong side,
44
Things don't go so well
45
So I accepted who I am, and named my disease,
46
And finally felt relief, and got down on my knees
47
Wake up, you're living now
48
You've been gone so long, do you remember how?
49
Just be yourself, that's being brave
50
You're not the master,
51
But you sure ain't the slave
52
You're not the master,
53
But you sure ain't the slave
54
Wake up, you're living now
55
You've been gone so long, do you remember how?
56
Just be yourself, that's being brave
57
You're not the master,
58
But you sure ain't the slave
59
You're not the master,
60
But you sure ain't the slave
61
You're not the master,
62
But you sure ain't the slave
