"I Would, But I'm Scared of Danny"

[Verse 1]
I would sing, I would dance, I would fly through the sky
I'd post my thoughts online and never question why
But there’s a ghost in the wires, a name on my screen
It's Danny again, and he’s getting real mean.

I’d laugh a little louder, live a little free
But I hesitate — 'cause what if he’s watching me?
He’s got his thumbs down, ready in hand
Like a judge with no jury, no trial, just a ban.

[Chorus]
🎵 I would, but I'm scared of Danny
He's the shadow behind my screen
What if he says I’m evil?
What if he says I'm obscene?
I would, but I’m scared of Danny
He’s got the law on speed-dial
Accusations and allegations
Make my freedom feel on trial. 🎵

[Verse 2]
I’d wear what I want, say what I feel
But Danny might say that my joy isn't real
He’ll twist every joke, every innocent pun
'Til he’s crying “harassment” — and then I’m on the run.

I could dress like a cop just for Halloween
But he’d scream “IMPERSONATOR!” like it’s a crime scene
Malicious this, malicious that
All because I wore a badge and a hat.

[Bridge – Spoken Word/Whispered]
He’s got screenshots of my smile
He’s got folders on file
He’s the gatekeeper of my guilt
The warden of my style.
Every choice I make, I second-guess
Because Danny might get distressed.

[Chorus]
🎵 I would, but I'm scared of Danny
He's the watchdog of my dreams
He might just call the coppers
If I whisper through the memes
I would, but I’m scared of Danny
Even fun feels like a risk
When joy is seen as trolling
And my name’s already on his blacklist. 🎵

[Outro]
I used to speak my mind
Now I tiptoe in the dark
I used to shine so bright
Now I dim down every spark.
I would, I really would…
But I’m scared of Danny.
