Transcript
00:26Sunrise paints the windowpane
00:30Another day to fight this pain
00:32Living on a razor's edge
00:36Clinging to a silent pledge
00:38The bills keep coming, a rising tide
00:41Nowhere left for me to hide
00:44Pressure mounts with every breath
00:47Slow, relentless financial debt
00:50Just trying to make some coin
00:53A simple spin to just reach on
00:56The world that wants to watch me fall
00:59But I'm answering nobody's call
01:03I'm on the bleeding edge
01:05Trying to make things work out right
01:07But nobody's buying
01:10I'm on my own, lost in the fading light
01:14Learning to grind, day and night
01:17Just to keep this struggle in sight
01:19But there's no money, there's no jobs
01:23And people are losing all hope
01:29Typing my fingers to the bone
01:32Staring at an empty phone
01:35Minutes ticking, hours fly
01:38Under this grey, indifferent sky
01:41Trying to get blood from a fucking stone
01:44Out here on my own, alone
01:46Life's a hard grind
01:48Life's a hard grind when you're all alone
01:50Without a seed that you have sown
01:53To blossom into what I need
01:56Just to plant a single seed
01:59A seed of progress in this barren land
02:02With empty pockets in my hand
02:06I'm on the bleeding edge
02:08Trying to make things work out right
02:10But nobody's buying
02:13I'm on my own, lost in the fading light
02:17Learning to grind, day and night
02:20Just to keep this struggle in sight
02:22But there's no money, there's no jobs
02:26And people are losing our hope
02:34Sometimes I wonder late at night
02:37In this cold, despairing light
02:40Should I rob a bank or steal some gold?
02:44Because this place is so fucking cold
02:46Living on a night bed sharp and thin
02:49Where do I even begin?
02:53You need money just to live today
02:55In this evil world that makes you pay
02:58For every breath, for every dream
03:01Caught in this suffocating stream
03:12I'm on my bleeding edge
03:14Trying to make things work out right
03:16But nobody's buying
03:18I'm on my own
03:21I'm on my own
03:21Lost in the bleeding light
03:23Of dawn
03:24Learning to grind, day and night
03:26Just to keep this struggle in sight
03:28But there's no money, there's no jobs
03:32And people are losing our hope
03:37Yeah, nobody's buying
03:39Yeah, nobody's buying
03:40I'm on my own
03:42I'm on my own
03:44This hard grind
03:46Topping my fingers to the bone
03:50On this knife edge
03:52So fucking cold
03:55Still trying to make some coin
03:58Still trying to make some coin
03:58As the story unfolds
04:01Still trying to make some coin
04:07To all who things are
04:07Sometimes
