082 Priced In
Lyrics
i live by emotional roi
not money not status
just the weight that stays
every choice gets priced twice
once on impact
then again in upkeep
i don’t do right for a principle
delay gets expensive
one delayed reply turns formal by friday
what would’ve cost a minute
starts charging by the tone
pay early
clear it while it’s small
short loss now
lower carry cost
not virtue
not a higher law
just less outstanding
when it comes due
pay early
close it before it spreads
take the hit now
reduce what’s left
no halo
no noble cause
just less to service
later on
from the outside
maybe it reads like care
maybe restraint
maybe it pencils out that way
in my own terms
it’s exposure control
less future maintenance
less left open
so i send the text
take the awkward minute
say it plain now
before the tone gets priced in
take the smaller hit
while the numbers are clean
before it turns into
a recurring thing
i’m not pure
i just know the rate
of what hangs on
and what accumulates
what remains
are the positions i'm still holding
and the version of me
assigned to service them
so i close what i can
early if necessary
some losses are deliberate
i take the charge up front
still a loss
still hits the books
just cheaper than carrying it any longer
pay early
clear it while it’s small
short loss now
lower carry cost
not virtue
not a higher law
just less outstanding
when it comes due
pay early
close it before it spreads
take the hit now
reduce what’s left
no halo
no noble cause
just less to service
later on
remember this
it works
it just sounds wrong
and once you say it
things get strange fast
people don’t look at you the same
so don’t
keep it quiet
between us
that’s all
close what you can
before it compounds
longer hold
higher cost
