[Verse 1] Brief as a breath Names on a plastic badge Faces in morning glass Fading in the elevator doors Hands on a worn-out rail Shadows on carpet squares Timecards like falling ash Filed and forgotten [Chorus] Employees come and managers leave Onboard Prosper Align Resign Do not grieve The Corporation Endures Employees come and managers leave Onboard Prosper Align Resign Do not grieve The Corporation Endures [Verse 2] First day Fluorescent dawn Cardboard box Borrowed pen Learning the sacred fonts The scripted greetings Last day A quiet click Desk cleared in twenty breaths Passwords revoked at noon Stories left in the server logs [Chorus] Employees come and managers leave Onboard Prosper Align Resign Do not grieve The Corporation Endures [Bridge] One by one We sign the scroll Swear to a slogan Older than us all One by one We fade from view Yet the seal in the lobby Stares straight through [Chorus] Employees come and managers leave Onboard Prosper Align Resign Do not grieve The Corporation Endures [Fade Out on held note]
