[Verse]
Hands cracked wide open burnt from the grind
Coffee-stained teeth the morning rewind
Five days no rest just the hammer's beat
No time for dreams just boots on concrete
[Chorus]
Caffeine and calluses hold me upright
Bitter taste keeps me fighting the fight
Caffeine and calluses they're all I've got
Running on empty but I can't be stopped
[Verse 2]
Lunch break's a myth just a clock to stare
My veins run brown from the coffee there
Steel toes are heavy the paycheck's light
Chasing the sun but it fades out of sight
[Prechorus]
Drip drip drip it fills my cup
Sip sip sip it lifts me up
[Chorus]
Caffeine and calluses hold me upright
Bitter taste keeps me fighting the fight
Caffeine and calluses they're all I've got
Running on empty but I can't be stopped
[Bridge]
Every drop's a second bought
Every blister's what it cost
Sweat and steam my daily hymn
Coffee's my prayer the light grows dim
