Code and Whiskey

[Verse] Started with a dream and a fresh cup of joe, Lines of code I’d write, watch them grow. They piled up the tasks, just to make a dime, Days turned into nights, lost all track of time. [Verse 2] Boss man's in the office, screaming at the screen, Deadlines breathing down, gasping for a dream. Eyes are gettin' heavy, hands begin to shake, Errors start to mount, how much can one man take? [Chorus] Now it's code and whiskey, scars and the pain, Chasin' down some solace through the pouring rain. In the heart of the night, when the bugs come alive, It's code and whiskey, where the lost souls strive. [Verse 3] Tried to find a balance, but it slipped away, Promises I made, now they won't stay. Friends and lovers gone, only echoes here, Of simpler times when the mind was clear. [Chorus] Now it's code and whiskey, scars and the pain, Chasin' down some solace through the pouring rain. In the heart of the night, when the bugs come alive, It's code and whiskey, where the lost souls strive. [Bridge] Every burnout, every crash, is written on my soul, Management won't slow, they just push and pull. Whiskey's like a friend, a bittersweet embrace, It's the only thing that soothes in this hectic race.
