Signed Off
Drift
Close the tabs, a hundred deep. Rhodes piano fades alongside the filtered hum that's been your company all night. The birds outside don't know what you just found — they just sing their ordinary sound. The most tender surrender in the catalog. For the moment you become no one for a little while.
Lyrics
Report is written, draft is sent
Every hour accounted, every hour spent
The screen dims down to amber glow
Nothing left to chase, nothing left to know
Close the tabs, a hundred deep
Each one someone else's keep
The hum that kept me company
Fades to something close to free
Signed off
Signed off
Let the morning find what I left behind
Signed off
The work is done
And I'm no one
For a little while
Window shows a stripe of grey
Almost something like a day
The birds don't know what I just found
They just sing their ordinary sound
Ordinary sound
Ordinary sound
That's enough for now
