About trying so hard to get ahead that you fall behind in more important ways.

lyrics

A desperation to succeed at what you do strengthens the wind-up, but makes weak the follow-through.
A business call coms any minute, day or night, so you keep one eye on your phone.
Ample connections that take the place of friends; they don’t need money, and you don’t have it, so in spare time you’ll spend.
Go home and giggle, numb and stupid til you sleep, and no one cares to read the diary you keep.
Thoughtless, you’re always forgetting to call.
In your head, there’s no room for me anymore.
So play dead, but know you’ll be playing alone.
Tone deaf, you’re always setting the tone.
