Lyrics
[Verse]
The fluorescent hum bites through the grey
A fluorescent sun that bleeds the day
I drag my spirit to the plastic throne
Feeding the machine with flesh and bone
The paper mountains rise above my head
Words typed out that I have never read
[Verse]
Monday arrives with a heavy iron fist
A name on a list that would not be missed
The clock on the wall is a stagnant pond
The master’s whip is a legal bond
Selling the hours for a copper dime
Trading the marrow for a wasted prime
[Chorus]
Oh the elevator groans like a dying soul
Trying to reach a phantom goal
We are shuffling feet in a concrete cage
Ink stains on a blank and hollow page
Yes the weekend is a ghost we chase in vain
Through the coffee steam and the window pane
[Bridge]
The water cooler is a desert spring
Where tired voices try to sing
But the air is stale and the vision blurred
The truth is just a muffled word
The tie is a noose that pulls so tight
In the artificial glow of the midday night
[Verse]
The spreadsheet grid is a wire fence
Making the nonsense seem like sense
Five o’clock is a distant star
Shining from a heaven much too far
The swivel chair spins a web of gloom
Inside this bright and sterile room
[Pre-Chorus]
The commute is a river of silent men
Going back to do it all again
A rhythmic pulse of a tired heart
Watching the world just fall apart
[Chorus]
Oh the elevator groans like a dying soul
Trying to reach a phantom goal
We are shuffling feet in a concrete cage
Ink stains on a blank and hollow page
Yes the weekend is a ghost we chase in vain
Through the coffee steam and the window pane
[Chorus]
Oh the elevator groans like a dying soul
Trying to reach a phantom goal
We are shuffling feet in a concrete cage
Ink stains on a blank and hollow page
Yes the weekend is a ghost we chase in vain
Through the coffee steam and the window pane
