business hours are 9-5
move to change 
rearrange the structure
of our lives 
try a hobby besides 
emotional blackmail 
this protracted war
has made it tough
to breathe and say
that’s not okay

business hours are 9-5
wake up at 11 
throw a wrench into 
plans are dubious 
we know better 
than to fall in love 
again

business hours are 9-5
look left and right before
u cross over to the other side
look at your life
with crystal clarity 
and see it all begin again
