[verse 1] Coffee's cold again (oh) Staring out at beige fluorescent rain (oh) Screens glow like a soft decay (oh) I forgot what I was meant to say (oh) Clock hands crawling up my spine (yeh) Everyone here just waits in line (yeh) Whispers through the paper-thin stalls (yeh) Dreams die slow behind cubical walls (yeh) [chorus] And I just fade... Into emails and ether light Where no one asks if you're alright Filing pieces of myself each night Till I'm just... quiet Between the pages of a spreadsheet life [verse 2] You said you’d quit and move to Spain But you’re still here, filing names Typing secrets into silent air Wearing perfume no one cares And I can’t tell if it's Wednesday or June The breakroom plays some dead old tune Hearts on pause, eyes full of blue No windows, and nothing new [chorus] And I just fade... Into emails and ether light Where no one asks if you're alright Filing pieces of myself each night Till I'm just... quiet Between the pages of a spreadsheet life [bridge] They gave me a cake for my years I smiled, swallowed the taste of tears Said, "It’s just a job," but that’s a lie It’s where your soul goes when it’s ready to die [outro] Still here Same chair Simp in a tie Breathing stale recycled sky Cubical walls... Keep me alive Or maybe Just not dead yet
