[Verse]
I'm on a road to nowhere, in a driverless embrace
I'm watching the asphalt blur, as I stare into space
Waymo takes me places, but does it know where I belong?
Dropped off in this wasteland, surrounded by the lost and gone

[Verse 2]
San Francisco skyline, a backdrop of empty dreams
Silicon Valley's promise, shattered and torn at the seams
In this sea of tents and sorrow, I stand here all alone
A midwest emo wanderer, searching for a place to call home

[Chorus]
I guess I'll just order some Doordash
A fleeting comfort in this concrete jungle so brash
But as I wait for my temporary reprieve
I'm reminded of the irony that life can deceive (ooh-yeah)

0:00
/2:00

[Verse]
In the heart of the Midwest, where the sunsets glow
Two friends, Glenn and Ben, turn thirty years old (ooh-yeah)
Through all the highs and lows, they've stood by each other's side
Forever young at heart, their spirits never died

[Verse 2]
Late nights strumming chords, writing songs of love and loss
Finding solace in the melodies, disregarding the cost (ooooh)
They've chased dreams and passions, and faced life's bitter sting
But through it all, they never forgot the joy music brings

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Glenn and Ben, may your hearts forever sing (ooh-yeah)
As you journey through life's winding road, remember one thing
Hold on to your dreams, let your voices be heard
Forever young in spirit, the best is yet to be unfurled

0:00
/1:11

[Verse]
In the city where the dreamers go
I'm searching for a job, don't you know
Laid off, but I won't let it define me
Gotta hustle, it's time to shine, see

[Verse 2]
Scrollin' on LinkedIn, puttin' myself out there
Design skills polished, I'm beyond compare
I'm hopin' for a company with the vision
To recognize my talent and ambition

[Chorus]
Swipe right, I'm the designer with the fire
Ready to ignite, take me higher
I'm the one you've been searching for
Hit me up, I'm ready to soar

Notes on The Timeless Way of Building
