Lyrics
No alarm pulling me out of sleep
No inbox lighting up my phone
The silence feels like standing still
In a room I’ve never known
I reach for habits out of fear
Check the time, check nothing back
I’m so used to being needed
Now there’s nothing on the map
They took my badge, they took my role
They took the shape I used to be
I thought I wanted freedom
But it doesn’t recognize me
I’m unemployed
And I don’t know who I am
When I’m not proving my worth
To a number or a plan
I’m unemployed
And the quiet hits hard
I built my whole identity
Around a job that fell apart
No meetings filling up the day
No pressure telling me I’m late
I keep expecting panic
But it hasn’t shown its face
I walk past places I once rushed
Like they don’t own me anymore
I gave them years of everything
Now I’m learning what that was for
I was measured, I was managed
I was optimized to stay
Now I’m just a person breathing
Trying to unlearn the way
I’m unemployed
No title on my name
No performance review
Telling me I’m safe
I’m unemployed
And it scares me more than I thought
But for the first time in years
I’m not already lost
No metrics
No targets
No quarterly fear
Just a voice in my head
Asking who’s still here
I’m unemployed
And maybe that’s the start
Of finding something human
Underneath the parts
I’m unemployed
But I’m still alive
And that feels heavier
Than any nine to five
Status unknown
Identity pending
