Lyrics
Verse 1 (Sparse piano, room mics):
The metrics on my humanity are trending down
Year over year comparisons show significant decline
My empathy's underperforming last quarter's projections
And my capacity for wonder needs to be optimized
While authenticity remains a challenge
In this fiscal environment
Chorus (Adding horns, strings):
So I've prepared a PowerPoint presentation
On the state of my internal affairs
With actionable insights on my failures
And strategic goals for manufactured prayer
As we streamline operations
In this ongoing spiritual merger
Verse 2 (Full band entering):
The board has some concerns about sustainability
Of my current emotional output
Suggesting we outsource compassion
To markets with less regulatory backup
While my purpose gets restructured
For a leaner org chart
Bridge (Building intensity):
But there's something in the spreadsheets
That the formulas can't contain
Some remainder in the calculus
Of trying to explain
Why we still feel something holy
When the numbers don't remain
Outro (Fading to whisper):
So I'm submitting my resignation
From the business of becoming whole
As I liquidate my assets
And decentralize my soul
In a market that's forgotten
What it's trading anymore
