38th Floor

Here I am again
 On the 38th floor
 The view is good
 But my mind is out the door
 Staring at a screen all day
 There's no further I can sink
 Can't help but think
 I've somehow flushed my life away
 Every day the same
 Every meeting a corporate game
 I wouldn't be surprised
 If my boss doesn't know my name
 I don't know myself
 I can't stand who I've become
 Coerced by fear
 Pressure and strain forced my career
 Get me out of here
 Take me to a place where I can see
 Something different
 Than what's in front of me
 Silence my fear
 That I'm not where I should be
 That the door that was closed
 It was closed by me
 If only I had another chance
 To go back to the point
 Where I was scared to take the risk
 So I abandoned what I love
 If only I had another shot
 To go back where my soul was bought
 And sold by a poor decision
 My now wouldn't need revision
 And every day I get so bored
 Nothing seems to change
 The doubt about the choice I made
 Rings like thunder in the rain
 I'm just a grain of sand
 On an endless beach
 Another face in the crowd
 I could have held the playing hand
 That took me out of the mundane's reach
 And walked the path my dreams allowed
 Instead I've got another meeting
 Gotta keep the company strong
 The boss has asked for overtime
 He'll make sure the day drags on
 What have I done?
 Where have I gone?
 Everything and everywhere I knew was wrong
 What have I seen?
 Where are my dreams?
 Nothing and nowhere but a computer screen
 Here I am again
 On the 38th floor
 The view is good
 As I'm walking out the door
 One choice that cost so much
 Made life unrecognizable
 But I have another chance
 To make my goal realizable
 I can't undo what's been done
 But I have to try to fix what's wrong
 To let my dreams be my guide
 They now refuse to be denied
 I may not find the way back out
 Of the mess I've made but I'm about
 To swallow pride 'cause I'm walking out
 The time is now to change my life
