Shift Change Video (MV)

[Intro]
Factory lights flickering, shadows on the wall
Dad's uniform still hangs in the hall
Ghost of memories I can't escape at all
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Six AM wake up call, same routine
Timeclock punching souls, you know what I mean
Inherited these dark circles under my eyes
Same ones my old man wore until the day he died
Empty coffee cups and cigarette burns
Lessons that a young boy silently learns
Watching pops drag himself through that door
Body broken down but still coming back for more

[Chorus]
Shift change, another day fades to gray
Watching life slip away on minimum wage
Shift change, trapped in this cage
Following footsteps like a family plague
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
Blue collar legacy running through my veins
Factory dust mixed with generational pain
Mama said "be different," but here I am
Same building, different badge, same damn
Empty promises of overtime pay
While dreams collect dust day after day
Looking in the mirror, seeing his face
Same tired eyes in this god-forsaken place

[Bridge]
Sometimes I hear the machines in my sleep
Grinding metal rhythm got its hooks in deep
Can't break the cycle, can't escape this fate
By the time I realize, it's already too late

[Chorus]
Shift change, another day fades to gray
Watching life slip away on minimum wage
Shift change, trapped in this cage
Following footsteps like a family plague
Yeah, yeah

[Outro]
Dad's uniform still hanging by the door
Silent reminder of what he endured
Wonder if he felt this hollow inside
As the factory lights slowly die
As the factory lights slowly die
