I DON'T WANT AN ANSWER TO THAT
(Songfight title used: You Are The Heartbeat Of This Office For Sure)

Spreading shadows, tunneled lights
And flame that’s lacking fuel
A calming voice just to promise
Everything is fine, all fine

A bed of noise, grinding gears
Courses calculated by a fool
Overreacted, but not the only one
Falling out of line

I don’t suit your story
I’ll lay the cards out flat
Did you lose the plot
Or ever know where it was at?

I don’t want an answer to that (oh, no)

Simple symbols, scrawled instructions
Don’t seem to spark so much
But disagreements, interruptions
And sparring from our crutches

Light the torches, circle all the wagons
Kick up some more dirt
The only danger's being proven wrong
I guess that must really hurt

Learn to work in riddles
We can't maintain every fact
Does anything we measure
Ever quite remain exact?

I don’t want an answer to that (and you know)
I don’t want an answer to that (so just go)

You know nothing
But you’re gonna carve something out
You know nothing
And don’t want to know what I’m about

try to settle down
keep it steady now
these imagined things
are worse than any you have found

try to settle down
keep it steady now
it may be a cage
but not long until you're out

We’ve drifted of course, all in the name of
A zero-sum contest
You are the heartbeat of this office for sure
Just before cardiac arrest

These empty spaces
Should not be ignored
But I’m tired of being angry
And so sick of being bored

You are the heartbeat of this office for sure
And you know what you know best
You are the heartbeat of this office for sure
Try not to beat out of its chest
