Green Dot Blinking

Verse 1

Mouse hovering near the taskbar icon

Checking my fridge for a third time in an hour

Email draft sits frozen

Cursor blinking at me like a heartbeat in a void

Pre-Chorus

Green status dot on the chat

Tea getting lukewarm in the porcelain mug

Faking the grind

Waiting for five

Chorus

Washed out keys and a plastic beat

Looking busy but I'm losing steam

The fan hums a low white noise

Keeping secrets from the management voice

Staring out the window while the clouds go by

Building spreadsheets till the sun leaves the sky

Verse 2

Browser tabs overflowing like a dam break

Rain hits the pane with a steady clicking sound

Notification chimes are silent

Phones plugged in but the battery is draining slow

Pre-Chorus

Green status dot on the chat

Tea getting lukewarm in the porcelain mug

Faking the grind

Waiting for five

Chorus

Washed out keys and a plastic beat

Looking busy but I'm losing steam

The fan hums a low white noise

Keeping secrets from the management voice

Staring out the window while the clouds go by

Building spreadsheets till the sun leaves the sky

Bridge

Maybe I'll scroll

Maybe I'll sleep

Maybe I'll wake

Coffee turned cold in the pot

Agenda just a blur on a bright white screen

Chorus

Washed out keys and a plastic beat

Looking busy but I'm losing steam

The fan hums a low white noise

Keeping secrets from the management voice

Staring out the window while the clouds go by

Building spreadsheets till the sun leaves the sky
