Lyric

See them walking off to work again

Chasing wages just to live the day

While I’m here, I wear this smile

That’s the only role I know to play

Morning greetings, evening sighs

I used to envy their design

But this is the path I chose myself

No time to drown in “what if” lines

Empty days, with a hollow face

Staring at a sky that holds no trace

My head drifts on, it never ends

Thinking of the lonely hours I spend

This boredom tastes so bittersweet

And at the end you just repeat

A quiet sigh to close the day

Nothing more you’d ever say

See them coming home with weary eyes

I was once the same in that disguise

Nine to nine, the endless grind

Burning out what life I had inside

Eat, then sleep, then work again

The cycle spun without an end

I chose to step outside the frame

To lose the weight, to quit the game

Empty days, with a hollow face

Staring at a sky that holds no trace

My head drifts on, it never ends

Thinking of the lonely hours I spend

This boredom tastes so bittersweet

And at the end you just repeat

A quiet sigh to close the day

Nothing more you’d ever say

Is this freedom or just escape?

A different prison with another shape?

Still I wonder, still I breathe

In silence I believe

Empty days, with a hollow face

Staring at a sky that holds no trace

My head drifts on, it never ends

Thinking of the lonely hours I spend

This boredom tastes so bittersweet

And at the end you just repeat

A quiet sigh to close the day

Nothing more you’d ever say

Just a sigh, just a sigh…

To close another day
