Closing the Deal

Phone rings, phone rings all day. Names on a list,

names fade away. Scripts in my head but the words won't stay. Targets to hit,

numbers to slay. Closing the deal. What's fake, what's real? Pressure burns steel.

Closing the deal. Dial tone, static, white noise hum. Push for the

yes where the no comes from. Always be closing, a mantra that stings.

Chasing the ghost of the American dream. Coffee's for closers, they

say. Spitting fire while your soul plays dead. Closing the deal.

Spin the wheel. Hearts conceal. Closing the deal. Scripts like chains, scripts like chains.
