The Weight of Monday

[Chorus] Another Monday, sun ain't even up Sweatin' in this metal box, feelin' stuck Got that bill on my screen, a silent scream Trapped in this rat race, livin' a broken dream Yeah, it's a chain, a chain, a chain This life is a chain, a chain, a chain [Verse] Thirty-five years, code is my only friend Packed in tight, where does this journey end? Holding on to this pole, knuckles white and sore See my tired reflection, beggin' for more The air is thick and heavy, a humid, steamy haze Lost in the morning rush, through these endless days [Pre-Chorus] Elevator lights blink, up and down they go Same old faces, puttin' on a show Heard them talkin' promotions, whispers in the air But my weekend's gone, ain't got time to spare [Chorus] Another Monday, sun ain't even up Sweatin' in this metal box, feelin' stuck Got that bill on my screen, a silent scream Trapped in this rat race, livin' a broken dream Yeah, it's a chain, a chain, a chain This life is a chain, a chain, a chain [Verse] My mind is racin' faster than the train Countin' every dollar, tryin' to ease the pain They say "keep grindin'," "work is all you need" But this constant pressure plants a bitter seed Remember when weekends were a sweet escape? Now it's just more work, a never-endin' shape [Bridge] This glass reflects a stranger, gaunt and worn Is this the life I built since I was born? Every line of code, a step towards the light But now it feels like shadows in the fadin' night Trying to break free, but the system holds me tight Just want to breathe again, feel the mornin' light [Chorus] Another Monday, sun ain't even up Sweatin' in this metal box, feelin' stuck Got that bill on my screen, a silent scream Trapped in this rat race, livin' a broken dream Yeah, it's a chain, a chain, a chain This life is a chain, a chain, a chain [Outro]
