falling beneath a mountain of words Piling up A stack of expectations Trapped, with no inspiration You look tired, kid I know what you want to hear It’s okay, you did your best We can all see how hard you’re trying We forgive you for falling short Everybody does You can go to sleep now I can take care of you But that’s not what you’ll hear from me You have more work to do, son So wake up And get back to work.
