Lyrics

In office walls (stale walls) We share our laughs, but hides the truth You say we're kin, yet deep distress Behind a smile, still repressed You claim we're tight in this mesh Yet I confess, it's all complex Under these lights (harsh lights) Whispers of leaving, breaking through the tune Someday I'll walk, out into the noon Promise of elsewhere, it calls my name I've gotta leave, flee this masquerade Coffee cups (stained cups) We toast to the end of another day Pretend we're okay, stuck in this play I dream of spaces wide and open skies Beyond these desks, beyond the lies [Chorus] The clock ticks, while my heart sings a wild escape Memories fade (fading fast) True laughs few, ensnared by the routine We say we're close, but there's unseen space In the break room, I'm half in another place Ties that bind, starting to fray at the seems I feel the strain, in every 'how you been?' In the elevator (falling down) We crash through floors of shallow sound I mark the doors, the years they claim In dreams of flight, not corporate chains Day by day, we wear our feigned ensemble But in the quiet, my resolves all tremble Staring out (glassy views) Visions of life beyond this room Oh, this kinship's a fading tune I'm grasping for the real, the true In these halls (echoed steps) Where ambition's dream has slept
