The Breakroom Manifesto

[Intro]
[Verse]
The light flickers blue
In the breakroom for two
Smudged ink on my thumb
To the rhythm of the hum
I’m peeling the edge
Of a paper-thin pledge
While the coffee gets cold
And the stories get old
[Pre-Chorus]
The manager is gone
I’m yawning a yawn
But my pockets are full
Of a different kind of pull
[Chorus]
Slap a sticker on the lid
Show ‘em what the quiet kid did
Between the staples and the glue
I’m sending out a message to you
Hand-drawn heart on a yellow square
Placing little secrets everywhere
[Post-Chorus]
Ink on my skin
Let the magic begin
Ink on my skin
Let the magic begin
[Verse]
Box of folders in a row
Watch the grey feelings grow
But inside the cardboard wall
I am writing on them all
Dented sheets in my palm
Keeping me strangely calm
Through the barcode and the scan
I’ve got a little tiny plan
[Pre-Chorus]
The manager is gone
I’m yawning a yawn
But my pockets are full
Of a different kind of pull
[Chorus]
Slap a sticker on the lid
Show ‘em what the quiet kid did
Between the staples and the glue
I’m sending out a message to you
Hand-drawn heart on a yellow square
Placing little secrets everywhere
[Hook]
Xylophone rings in the air
Like I don’t even care
Xylophone rings in the air
Like I don’t even care
[Bridge]
They won’t see it for a week
Until the package starts to peak
When the boss is looking away
I’ll turn the boring into play
It’s a soft sort of war
On the dusty retail floor
[Verse]
The clock ticks on the wall
I’m standing fairly tall
Crumpled tape on the floor
Sneaking past the heavy door
Ink is drying on the white
Smallest sparks in the night
Just a sticker in a box
Picking all the mental locks
[Chorus]
Slap a sticker on the lid
Show ‘em what the quiet kid did
Between the staples and the glue
I’m sending out a message to you
Hand-drawn heart on a yellow square
Placing little secrets everywhere
[Post-Chorus]
Ink on my skin
Let the magic begin
Ink on my skin
Let the magic begin
[Outro]
