Same ticket gate, same familiar faces Polished shoes, and well-rehearsed smiles Telling myself it’s good enough Swallowing truths I kept inside A modest paycheck, in exchange For all the dreams I’ve thrown away Just getting older day by day Doesn’t mean I’m safe this way Goodbye my career, I won’t turn back I’m breaking out of this lukewarm trap Counting down to the moment I leave The world outside may freeze, but if my heart still beats There’s only one road left for me “Are you insane?” my coworkers laugh “You’ll never make it,” the boss snaps back I lived a life someone else designed Just to protect their peace of mind Following rules worn out with time Staying on track, staying in line But now I’m stepping off these rails To see the world I’ve never found Goodbye my fellows, I won’t look back Loosening ties, leaving my past I’ll choose the pain over what’s “right” But somehow now I can finally breathe I’ll draw my path on a blank new map This company’s just a rigged-up game Built for fools who play it safe Forcing rules that serve their side I’m done with living someone else’s life It’s time to choose who I am inside Goodbye my company, thank you somehow The cage that held me— I’m breaking it now One step forward into the unknown A story that starts when I say goodbye Let’s go—new road, new life ahead
