Ghost In My Heart
Bybeever
3:427 AM, drag myself in again Same gray walls, that stale coffee blend Clocking in, smile paper-thin While Sandra's talking loud 'bout her cat again Manager's fake grin, the Monday loop Meetings that could've been a group chat too I stapled my patience, paper-clipped pride Held my tongue through passive-aggressive vibes But today, oh today, that ends for good Cleared my desk like a boss, yeah I knew I would This is my last clock-out, freedom in my veins No more cubicle chains, or water cooler games Goodbye to the drama, to the "team-building" strain I'm dancing down the hallway in the pouring rain It's a new sunrise, no more fake replies I'm finally done with the 9-to-die Last clock-out feels like flying No more pretending, no more complying Stuck in a loop, day after day Pretending "I'm fine" while fading away Toxic boss with his power play And Janet's lunch stinkin' up the hallway Oh, I smiled through it all, kept my tone sweet While plotting my escape under spreadsheets Took my sanity back, turned in my key Tore the 'motivational' poster off my screen Now I'm walking tall, they're watching me No two weeks' notice, just clarity This is my last clock-out, freedom in my veins No more cubicle chains, or water cooler games Goodbye to the drama, to the "team-building" strain I'm dancing down the hallway in the pouring rain It's a new sunrise, no more fake replies I'm finally done with the 9-to-die Last clock-out feels like flying No more pretending, no more complying Raise a toast to every "can I grab you for a quick sec Every weekend they stole, every missed paycheck Every "great opportunity" with zero respect I'm out now, baby no regrets You can keep your parking pass Your office snacks and weekly sass No more fake laughs, no more slacks I'm gone for good and I'm not looking back This is my last clock-out, freedom in my veins No more cubicle chains, or water cooler games Goodbye to the drama, to the "team-building" strain I'm dancing down the hallway in the pouring rain It's a new sunrise, no more fake replies I'm finally done with the 9-to-die Last clock-out feels like flying No more pretending, no more complying Last clock-out, yeah, I'm gone Hello to what I really want Last clock-out... my soul is free Time to live for me
