Lyrics:

[Intro]
[Slow, steady beat]
[Male Vocal, cold and detached]

[Verse 1]
The balance sheet is screaming, look at the spread
I see a sea of faces, I wish I saw numbers instead
You clock in, you clock out, a repetitive line
But none of you possess the spark, the design
You’re just gears in the frame, replaceable parts
Moving through the motions with heavy, slow hearts

[Pre-Chorus]
Efficiency is king, and I hold the crown
I’m pulling the levers, I’m locking it down
Don’t ask for a reason, don’t ask for the "why"
I’m watching the margins, and watching you sigh

[Chorus]
Low-value human capital, filling the floor
Counting the minutes 'til you're out the door
You’re overhead cost, you’re a drain on the gain
Just a statistical glitch, a drop in the rain
(Disposable)
So replaceable
(Expendable)
Nothing personal—

[Verse 2]
I walk down the hall, I don't know your names
Just labels and titles, playing your games
You think that you’re vital? You think that you’re core?
But you’re just the dust on my office door
I optimize systems, I trim off the fat
And that is the truth, so how 'bout that?

[Pre-Chorus]
The board wants a dividend, growth in the green
I’m the architect pulling the strings of the machine
Don’t look for a hand-out, don't look for a friend
I’m looking for ways that the curve can ascend

[Bridge]
[Building, sharp, staccato rhythm]
Assets depreciating
Systems pulsating
Humanity fading
My profit is waiting
Tick. Tock.
You're worth what you output.
Nothing more.

[Solo]
[Cold, synthetic soundscape]

[Outro]
[Whisper]
Just a number...
(Just a number)
See you at the bottom line.
[Sigh]
[Fade to silence]
