Two Weeks

Two Weeks

[Verse]
Got the white envelope sitting on the mahogany desk
No more corporate meetings turning into a grotesque
Circus of egos where nobody listens at all
Just staring at clocks as the daylight starts to fall
I write the two weeks, no, scratch that, effective today
My spirit was heavy, but I'm throwing the weight away
Step in the elevator, press the button right down
No more faking a smile in this digital concrete town
The monitor flickers, the spreadsheet is frozen in time
I leave it behind like a half-finished nursery rhyme
Security badge on the counter, it’s metal and cold
Trading the handcuffs of copper for freedom of gold
My phone starts to buzz, but I leave it right in the drawer
I am stepping outside and I won't be coming back for more.

[Chorus]
Oh, I’m walking out lighter than the day I walked in
Let the heavy doors close, let the real life begin
Got the sun on my face and the pavement below
Got no place I must be, but I've got places to go
Yeah, I’m walking out lighter than the day I walked in
Let the heavy doors close, let the real life begin.

[Verse]
The lobby is marble, the guard gives a nod and a wink
He’s seen it all happen before, quicker than you can think
Push through the revolving door into the afternoon breeze
No necktie to choke me, no policies making me freeze
I look at the sky and the clouds are painted in gold
Trading the corporate script for a story that’s mine to be told
My sneakers hit concrete, the bass in my chest is my own
Not a chime from the inbox reminding me I am alone
The briefcase is empty, my pockets are breezy and free
There's nobody calling emergency meetings on me
The subway can wait, I’m just walking the length of the block
Free from the tyranny ticking of every clock.

[Chorus]
Oh, I’m walking out lighter than the day I walked in
Let the heavy doors close, let the real life begin
Got the sun on my face and the pavement below
Got no place I must be, but I've got places to go
Yeah, I’m walking out lighter than the day I walked in
Let the heavy doors close, let the real life begin.

[Bridge]
They talk about ladders and climbing up to the top
But nobody tells you the moment you’re forced to just drop
The weight of the metrics, the pressure to always excel
Becomes just another small room in a comfortable cell
I traded the salary cage for the wind in my hair
And honestly, brother, I haven't got one single care.

[Chorus]
Oh, I’m walking out lighter than the day I walked in
Let the heavy doors close, let the real life begin
Got the sun on my face and the pavement below
Got no place I must be, but I've got places to go
Yeah, I’m walking out lighter than the day I walked in
Let the heavy doors close, let the real life begin.
