employee of the month

Intro

Walk me through this gap on your résumé

Verse 1

Put the breakdown under problem-solving

Put the lost year under self-growth

Resilience fits inside a bullet point

If you leave out what it broke

Crisis management?

Years of experience

References on request

Don't ask who I had to beat

To master the stress test

Pre-Chorus

Firm handshake

Steady gaze

Rename the wreckage

Round up the days

Chorus

Employee of the month (woo)

Tell me what I'm worth today

I can make a nervous breakdown

Sound like skills that translate

Employee of the month (yeah)

Make the damage look first-rate

Everything's called challenge these days

I survived

But what did it take?

Verse 2

Strengths?

I notice every change

Weaknesses?

The same

Where do I see myself in five years?

Somewhere under my own name...

Smile on the webcam, light from the left

Every dark circle gets a filter and a check

Tell me what the job pays

For recovery on display

Pre-Chorus

Firm handshake

Steady gaze

Cry in the bathroom

Round up the days

Chorus

Employee of the month

Tell me what I'm worth, bay-be!

I can make a nervous breakdown

Sound like skills that translate

Employee of the month

Name the price you pay

Sell the damage at a higher rate

I survived

But what did it take?

Bridge

Let's do a quick ping pong!

(Hypervigilance?)

Hm... attention to detail

(Dissociation?)

Well, I do work well under pressure

(Insomnia?)

Available after hours, sure

(People-pleasing?)

I'd go for strong client relationships

Every symptom has a synonym (synonym)

Every synonym has a market (market)

Every market needs a body (body)

Every body needs a paycheck (paycheck)

Every paycheck feeds the same ache (same ache)

Every ache gets a fresh start (rebrand!)

Every fresh start hide- (Burnout!)

Chorus

Employee of the month (aaaaah)

Tell me what I'm worth today! (yeaah)

Make a nervous breakdown (breakdown)

Shine on your résumé! (yeaaah)

Employee of the month

Working around the clock

Making the damage an asset

Working around the clock

Never counting what it cost

Working around the clock

The mess is under the desk

Guess I will survive (kinda)

But what does it take?
