歌詞

The month turned over

Without asking me

Same room

New charge

Same face

New fee

My profile looked tired

In the bathroom light

I cropped out the laundry

And called it a life

There was a number

Beside my name

Not high enough

To leave unchanged

I made a list

Of things to fix

Then lost the note

Inside the day

I woke up as

A Monthly Version of Me

Slightly improved

But mostly unpaid

I smiled like a setting

I learned to repeat

Then closed the app

And stayed the same

The mirror refreshed

Before I did

Showed me a man

I almost hid

New haircut pending

New habits due

Three saved courses

I never moved through

I bought more storage

For things I ignore

Kept old screenshots

Of wanting more

Every plan

Had a trial week

Every dream

Had terms to read

I pressed accept

With half a mind

And paid attention

I couldn’t find

I signed in as

A Monthly Version of Me

One quiet upgrade

Behind the screen

The old one expired

Before it could leave

Still wearing my name

Still needing sleep

Nobody said

I had to change

They just moved faster

Around my name

Nobody charged me

At the door

But I kept owing

Something more

A better answer

A cleaner face

A brighter reason

To take up space

I billed myself

A Monthly Version of Me

Not quite broken

Not quite complete

A small new promise

A smaller receipt

The month turned over

And counted me
