[04:23.00]Coffee ring on the corner
[04:23.00]Crumbs where the keyboard was
[04:23.00]Sticky note ghosts on the monitor
[04:23.00]Why does this feel like loss
[04:23.00]Charger coiled like a question
[04:23.00]Chair turned away from the light
[04:23.00]Your name tag face-down on the desk
[04:23.00]They cleared you out overnight
[04:23.00]Empty desk theory
[04:23.00]If the drawer's still jammed
[04:23.00]Are you really gone
[04:23.00]Empty desk theory
[04:23.00]Do the jokes we wrote keep living on
[04:23.00]If your screen saver still shows July
[04:23.00]Is it over
[04:23.00]Or paused in time
[04:23.00]Empty desk theory
[04:23.00]I keep spinning it in my mind
[04:23.00]HR box full of memories
[04:23.00]Half-dried plant by the screen
[04:23.00]That dumb plastic trophy you hated
[04:23.00]Sits there staring at me
[04:23.00]They say"headcount
[04:23.00]Market pressure"
[04:23.00]Words that taste like dust
[04:23.00]But your mug still stains the paper
[04:23.00]Like it doesn't trust them much
[04:23.00]Empty desk theory
[04:23.00]If the drawer's still jammed
[04:23.00]Are you really gone
[04:23.00]Empty desk theory
[04:23.00]Do the jokes we wrote keep living on
[04:23.00]If your screen saver still shows July
[04:23.00]Is it over
[04:23.00]Or paused in time
[04:23.00]Empty desk theory
[04:23.00]I keep spinning it in my mind
[04:23.00]Maybe work is just a coat
[04:23.00]We hang up when the day is through
[04:23.00]But the fabric holds the shape
[04:23.00]Of everyone who slipped it loose
[04:23.00]Empty desk theory
[04:23.00]If the drawer's still jammed
[04:23.00]Are you really gone
[04:23.00]Empty desk theory
[04:23.00]Do the jokes we wrote keep living on
[04:23.00]If the seat still squeaks when I roll by
[04:23.00]Is it haunting or just design
[04:23.00]Empty desk theory
[04:23.00]I keep spinning it in my mind
