Track Notes
Acceptance without surrender. It feels like logging off after a long night and realizing you made it through.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Cap and gown, the code is done,
But I'm still running on the run.
Gates glows gold in morning light,
Wean still hums through sleepless nights.
Every test I failed and passed,
Built a spine that's built to last.
Goodbye lines and half-closed tabs,
The girl I was still overlaps.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every crash, a kind of grace,
Every loop, a learning place.
[Chorus]
This is my graceful exit,
Not a bug, just a fix I meant.
All the chaos, all the doubt,
I found myself when I burned out.
This is my graceful exit,
No regrets, no silent edits.
Every line that broke apart,
Compiled into a beating heart.
[Verse 2]
Friends fade out to startup dreams,
Late night tears turned into steam.
The autograder's gone offline,
I'm grading now on my own time.
Love was rare, but truth was near,
In every failure, I was here.
I used to fear the final bell,
But I've debugged enough to tell-
[Pre-Chorus]
You can't return to where you've been,
You just commit and start again.
[Chorus]
This is my graceful exit,
Not a bug, just a fix I meant.
All the chaos, all the doubt,
I found myself when I burned out.
This is my graceful exit,
No regrets, no silent edits.
Every line that broke apart,
Compiled into a beating heart.
[Bridge]
So here's to nights I almost quit,
And every dream I re-submitted.
If life's a loop, I'll let it spin,
Till meaning breaks the code within.
[Final Chorus]
This is my graceful exit,
No applause, just quiet credits.
All my warnings, all my tries,
Now read like poetry in disguise.
This is my graceful exit,
End of file, no need to fix it.
If love's a script that runs unplanned,
Then I'm okay to understand.
[Outro]
I close the lid, the world resumes,
My heart beats loud in empty rooms.
Graceful exit, curtain call -
I learned to crash, but not to fall.
