For Office Use

[Verse 1]
Humble beginnings of a young soul
Trying to do the same for us
The feeling of their alienation
Spoken of once, but years ago
Spoken of once, but years ago

[Chorus]
Two doors closing in our faces in one night
Each could open if the other makes it right
The party guests convince the hosts to no avail
Leaving them pacing in the hall

Then one evening, one door opened sharing light
The scene was gruesome
I was stupid, and deaf and blind
Bringing music to what was unspoken to share one mind
With no response, the window closed

[Verse 2]
Still the light pours in through curtains of silk
As they graze the checkered floor
Vibrant and warm, but like the space
I’m greeted by her, but I can only say hello to him
The misunderstanding that we both know

[Chorus]
Two doors closing in our faces in one night
Each could open if the other makes it right
The party guests convince the hosts to no avail
Leaving them pacing in the hall

[Bridge]
Exhaustion shared
But you stare as if I could never understand
I try my best to provide some relief
But the energy is unmatched
And left suspended weightless in the dust
But heavy on my chest
Maybe it’s all in my head
Too much time alone to think
And not enough dialogue

[Outro]
In time you’ll grow to be tender
And I will be grateful for all that you did
In time we’ll talk like we’re human
And not just be screaming and building up walls
