Karoshi: The Final Shift

Описание: Lyrics:

Office lights still burning late,
Another night erased by dates.
Cold coffee, hands that shake,
A body giving more than it can take.

Screens demand, the clock won’t slow,
Days dissolve, weeks overflow.
Breathing feels like borrowed air,
Alive, but barely there.

No screams left inside the chest,
Just silent weight, just endless tests.
The mirror shows a stranger’s face,
Worn thin by time, by pace.

This is how it ends without a sound,
No collapse, just breaking down.
A life reduced to hours and pain,
Worked to dust, erased by strain.

Rain reflects the neon glow,
Empty streets, the long way home.
Muscles ache, the mind feels slow,
Carrying ghosts no one knows.

They said “endure”, they said “be strong”,
But nights like this feel far too long.
Dreams postponed, then left to die,
Under deadlines piled high.

Sadness settles in the bones,
Depression hums in monotones.
Burnout whispers, soft but clear:
“There’s no rest waiting here.”

Light fades and shadows grow,
Every hour steals a soul.
Silent struggles no one sees,
Lost beneath the endless pleas.

If someone asked, you’d say you’re fine,
But “fine” just hides the borrowed time.
The city hums, the lights burn cold,
A lonely story silently told.
Breath by breath, the night drifts slow,
Shadows fall where no one goes.
Fingers rest on keys of gray,
A single note just fades away.
