Yo…
You ever sit in the office…
staring at the screen…
pretending to work…
while your soul already clocked out?
Yeah…
Another Monday
Another fake “good morning”
Another coffee that don’t hit the same
Mana~ger.. talking
I’m nodding like I get it
But honestly I’m some..where far away
Same desk
Same chair
Same air.. conditioning
Too cold,~ somehow still suffocating
And everybody typing like their life depends on it
I don’t wanna waste my life
Counting hours every night
Waiting for the weekend light
Just to feel.. O..kay
Wake up
Train ride
Logged in
Dead eyes..Dead eyes
Small talk
Fake laugh
Low bat~tery
Half-assed
Wake up
Work hard
Burn out..Burn out
Restart
We go
Work, sleep, repeat
Work, sleep, repeat
Tryna feel something underneath
All this work, sleep,~ repeat
All this work, sleep, repeat
“Please revise the file.”
“Quick reminder.”
“Following up.”
“Following up on the follow-up.”
Man… shut the hell up.
I got dreams bigger than this office view
But dreams don’t pay rent when the month is due
So I smile in meetings
Act like I’m focused
While my brain keeps screaming:
“There’s gotta be more than this…”
Work, sleep, repeat
Running on empty all week
Maybe tonight when the bassline hits
I can finally breathe
See you tomorrow at 9 AM…
Unfortunately.
