[Verse]
The whistle blows
The welders spark
Another day
Same hollow mark
My hands are calloused
My back is tight
Grinding steel through the edge of night
[Chorus]
No one’s coming
No one cares
Bills stack high like city stairs
I dream of fields
Of skies so wide
But the shipyard keeps me locked inside
[Verse 2]
The city hums
A restless beast
Concrete chains
They never cease
The kids need shoes
The rent’s overdue
A man does what he’s got to do
[Prechorus]
Every arc flash burns my soul
Every paycheck takes its toll
[Chorus]
No one’s coming
No one cares
Bills stack high like city stairs
I dream of fields
Of skies so wide
But the shipyard keeps me locked inside
[Bridge]
The river flows
It don’t look back
I wish I could follow that winding track
To a quiet place
Where the stars still shine
But the weight of debt
It ain’t just mine
