Act 2: Full Inbox

(album: InstaFamous - 2019)

Every day there is a new song
To be singing
For the first time ever
My phone won't stop ringing
Every text and call and email that I get
Is filling up my inbox
And I'm starting to regret

The decision to present myself
Out there
I experience their feelings
Which is not fair
I don't care about
The stupid lives they lead
It's not like I need the money
I'm only sixteen

With every passing note
I wish I could
Fly away from this
Responsibility
Every line and lyric
Has its effect
It's taking its toll
On me

Why should I care
'Bout the lessons that I'm learning?
When everything around me
In the world is burning
Maybe I should take a break
From writing songs
It might minimize the consequences
The list is getting too long

With every passing note
I wish I could
Fly away from this
Responsibility
Every line and lyric
Has its effect
It's taking its toll
On me

Why do you resist
What you are good at?
Because I know that
There's a price to pay
You don't have to resist
What you are good at
Maybe I'll keep it up
For one more day

With every passing note
(Come on, kid)
I wish I could
(You need to get the day in line)
Fly away from this
(You better get to work)
Responsibility
Every line and lyric
(Get on up, you've got a job)
Has its effect
(Lets take this work)
It's taking its toll
On me
