Cold coffee and missed dial Tones

I’ve been staring at the same email for forty minutes. The cursor is blinking like a heartbeat, but I’m finished. Checked my bank account just to feel a little weight, But the numbers don’t stop me from showing up late. My neighbor’s heater is humming through the drywall, I’m pacing the linoleum, waiting for a sky-fall. Everything is "fine," that’s the lie I tell the mirror, But the more I see the picture, the less it’s getting clearer. ​(Chorus) It’s just cold coffee and missed dial tones, Collecting all these things but I’m living in my bones. The "realistic" dream is starting to feel heavy, Like a slow-motion leak breaking through the levee. I’m not sad, I’m just... quiet. Letting the silence start a riot. ​(Verse 2) I remember when a ten-dollar bill felt like a win, Now I spend twenty on a lunch I don't even put in. The car smells like old air freshener and regret, I haven't paid the parking ticket from the city yet. People talk about "balance" like it's something you can buy, While I’m calculating taxes and staring at the sky. There’s a stain on the carpet from a night I don't recall, Just a permanent reminder that I’m prone to the fall. ​(Bridge) (No music—just a rhythmic tapping on a table) Swipe left. Scroll down. Don't smile. Don't frown. Work. Sleep. Repeat. The rhythm of the concrete. ​(Verse 3) Someone asked me how I was, I said "I'm getting there." But "there" is just a place with a different colored chair. My hands are a little shaky from the caffeine and the stress, Success is just a mess in a more expensive dress. I’m gonna sit here till the sun hits the stovetop, Watching the world start before I even stop. ​(Outro) (The beat gets slightly distorted and then abruptly cuts) Cold coffee. Leave a message after the beep.
