Lyrics

These eyes been burned by a midnight screen,
Chasin’ deadlines, livin’ on caffeine.
Built up systems on a fragile wire,
Hands still shakin’ from the crash and fire.
Ain’t no glory when the servers fall,
Just patchin’ wounds and givin’ your all.

This life ain’t easy, it’s a heavy brand,
Every scar’s a story carved into the land.

It’s blood in the dust, code in the vein,
We give all we got through the breakdown and strain.
Through firewalls, crashes, through burnout and trust,
This future is built on blood in the dust.

I’ve buried projects, I’ve buried plans,
Watched good ideas slip through my hands.
Still we push updates, still we chase time,
In the glow of the screen where the stars don’t shine.
No sleep, no silence, no easy crown,
Just the weight of the work that won’t back down.

This life’s a ledger, written by hand,
Every scar’s a story carved into the land.

It’s blood in the dust, code in the vein,
We give all we got through the breakdown and strain.
Through firewalls, crashes, through burnout and trust,
This future is built on blood in the dust.

And when I’m gone, let the screens remember,
The late-night fights, every fading ember.
This world we wired, it won’t forget,
Every drop we gave still powers it yet.

It’s blood in the dust, code in the vein,
We give all we got through the breakdown and strain.
Through firewalls, crashes, through burnout and trust,
This future is built on blood in the dust.

Every scar’s a story… carved into the land.
