+
+## Intro
+
+They say in computer science, the Halting Problem is unsolvable  
+You can’t look at a program and know for sure if it’s gonna stop...  
+Or if it’s just gonna run forever  
+I figured that was just math  
+I didn’t know it was gonna be my life
+
+## Verse 1
+
+Yeah, 60 days. That’s the variable, the hard constraint  
+Sweat on the collar, painting pictures that the resume ain’t  
+Every rejection letter feels like a syntax error  
+Parsing through the panic, navigating the terror  
+Student visa expiring, the grace period is thinning  
+Only got one offer to keep the thread spinning  
+It wasn’t the dream job, it wasn’t the grand design  
+But when the clock hits 59, you sign on the line  
+I took the seat. Cubicle gray, fluorescent sky  
+Just a temporary patch until the limit passes by  
+Told myself: "Get the paper, get the status, then I switch"  
+"Build that startup in the garage, scratch the creative itch"  
+But the system is a black box, inputs are obscure  
+I’m waiting on a function call that’s never secure
+
+## Chorus
+
+Now I’m stuck inside the logic, can’t find the break  
+Waiting for the output that the system won’t make  
+Is it frozen? Is it thinking? Or is it dead on the floor?  
+I’m looking for the line that says `exit(0);`  
+The Halting Problem in the flesh, yeah, I’m living the proof  
+Running circles in the hallway under somebody else’s roof  
+Will it stop? Can you tell me? Does the algorithm know?  
+Or do I run this loop forever while the processing slows?
+
+## Verse 2
+
+Year one. The boss says, "We’ll file the PWD"  
+That’s the Prevailing Wage, the first lock on the key  
+But the quarter rolls by, and the silence is loud  
+"HR is busy," he says, head in the cloud  
+Promised a filing date, but the promise was a glitch  
+I’m watching processing times fall into a ditch  
+First it was 6 months, then it spiraled to 10  
+Retrogression hit the charts, and we’re stalled out again  
+I’m checking bulletins monthly like I’m reading the scripture  
+Watching my priority date fade out of the picture  
+Backlog deepens. The stack is overflowing the memory  
+And I’m chained to a desk, losing all of my energy  
+Golden handcuffs rust, turning orange and brown  
+I can’t leave, I can’t quit, I can’t shut it down  
+Because if I break the connection, then the status is void  
+So I debug their legacy code, quiet and paranoid
+
+## Chorus
+
+Now I’m stuck inside the logic, can’t find the break  
+Waiting for the output that the system won’t make  
+Is it frozen? Is it thinking? Or is it dead on the floor?  
+I’m looking for the line that says `exit(0);`  
+The Halting Problem in the flesh, yeah, I’m living the proof  
+Running circles in the hallway under somebody else’s roof  
+Will it stop? Can you tell me? Does the algorithm know?  
+Or do I run this loop forever while the processing slows?
+
+## Bridge
+
+I had a notebook  
+Blue cover. Moleskine  
+Full of schematics  
+My own company. My own design  
+I was gonna revolutionize the way that data streams  
+I was gonna build a team. I was gonna build dreams  
+But I haven't opened that book in 4 years  
+The ink is probably dry  
+The variable `ambition` was overwritten by `comply`  
+I executed the `wait` command, but the duration is `null`  
+Just a ghost in the machine, hollow and dull
+
+## Verse 3
+
+Now the exit condition is met, but I missed the cue  
+The green card arrived, but I don’t know what to do  
+I blasted past the stop sign, momentum is too high  
+I forgot how to live, I only know how to comply  
+The loop became the lifestyle, the bug became the feature  
+I morphed from the creator into the bottom-feeding creature  
+Still sitting in this chair, pushing pixels for a check  
+With a necklace of approvals hanging heavy round my neck  
+I could walk out the door. The function returns `true`  
+But I’m scared of the silence. I’m scared of the new  
+So I initialize the morning. Coffee. Commute  
+Execute the same task on the same daily route  
+Infinite recursion. No stack trace to see  
+The computer didn’t halt  
+It just crashed  
+And it took me
+
+## Outro
+
+```c++
+while (true) {
+    work();
+    wait();
+}
+```
+
+There is no exit  
+There is no exit  
+Just the hum of the server...  
+And the lights...  
+And the loop...  
+And the loop...  
+And the loop...
