Lyrics

April 17, 2026

[Verse 1]
8:15
Answer emails
Fake concern
About Q3 sales projections
Water plant
That keeps on dying
Sip my coffee
Question life
(briefly)

9 o’clock
Daily standup
Say “great point”
And mute my mic
Stare at wall
Like it’s a window
Schedule hope
For Friday night

[Chorus]
Can I pencil in a breakdown
Somewhere after half-past two
Between “reply all”
And “call Mom back”
I could sob
Then get back to you
I’m booked solid till exhaustion
Earliest cry slot’s Thursday noon
I’m scheduling my breakdown
Like a normal
Functional
Human

[Verse 2]
Lunch at 1
Eat at keyboard
Crumbs in keys
And dreams on hold
Scroll through photos
Of a sunset
I remember
Being cold

3 p.m
Performance check-in
“Where do you see yourself
Next year?”
I write “under
My desk maybe”
Then delete
And type “right here”

[Chorus]
Can I pencil in a breakdown
Maybe 3:15 to 4
I could quietly unravel
Then reset
And ask for more
My calendar says “busy”
Color-coded in maroon
So I’ll schedule my breakdown
Right between
“be fine”
And “join Zoom”

[Bridge]
[soft
Plinky piano]
Auto-reminder pops up
“Have you tried
Relaxing?”
I hit snooze
Three times
Like that’s
A plan
[short ascending run]

[Chorus]
So I penciled in my breakdown
For a tentative Sunday night
But I pushed it to “rescheduled”
When the group chat
Asked “you alright?”
Now I’ve moved it to “recurring”
Every week at 8 past noon
Just a standing mild collapse
Then I’m back
To “see you soon”

[Outro]
5 p.m
Close the laptop
Feelings knocking
At the door
“Can we talk?”
“Check back tomorrow”
Same time
Same place
Same floor
