Overtime Funeral Rites

[Processional: Vocalist: Male][Delivery: rasp][Room: hall][Measured Pace] Punch-card ticks beside a velvet lid, Fluorescent halos hum and bid. Name badges bloom on rented coats, Memos folded into funeral notes. [Chorus: Choir overlay][Intensity: rising][Stereo: wide] Clock in, clock out. (forever) Clock in, clock out. (never) [High Fidelity] Sign the sheet, the grave awaits. [/High Fidelity] (×2) [Stop — 1 beat] [Ledger Reading: Delivery: spoken-edge][Texture: grit][Quick Pace] Numbers climb like mourning doves, KPIs dressed in latex gloves. A slideshow crowns the exit door, Applause reduced to carpet floor. [Hook Callback][Crowd] [High Fidelity] Sign the sheet; the grave awaits. [/High Fidelity] [Bridge: Accelerando][Impact: clap][Room: small] Timecards whirl like falling ash, Printer coughs in metric flash. Phones still glow in folded hands, Calendar blocks like sinking sands. [Final Chorus: Male belt + Choir][Intensity: peaking] Clock in, clock out. (forever) Clock in, clock out. (never) [High Fidelity] Sign the sheet, the grave awaits. [/High Fidelity] (×2, softer) [Dismissal: Off-Mic Moment][Ritardando] Ghosts queue up to swipe IDs, A trembling cursor blinks and pleads. [Silence — 2 bars]
