Stairwell Echoes Video (MV)

[Intro]
Cold metal stairs, frozen in time
Found you there, bottle by your side
Never knew the demons you fought inside
Factory smoke still clouding my mind

[Verse 1]
Stumbled on truth I wasn't meant to see
Pops laid out cold, it f*cked with me
Empty bottles tell stories of defeat
Blue-collar pride turned to misery
Shift work blues, overtime lies
Hidden flask behind those tired eyes
Thought you were strong, thought you were fine
Till I found your weakness on display that night

[Chorus]
Machinery keeps turning, while we're all burning
Generational pain, keeps returning
Watch you fall apart, like the factory's heart
Blood mixed with vodka, where do I start?
Where do I start?

[Verse 2]
Working class heroes ain't what they seem
Breaking their backs for someone else's dream
You drowned your sorrows in bottom-shelf peace
While I watched you fade like ghost memories
Steel-toed boots and calloused hands
Couldn't hold the weight of your command
Found you broken on concrete land
Now every drink burns like iron brands

[Bridge]
(Marina's echoes)
Shadows of shame
Industrial flame
Father's pain
We're all the same

[Verse 3]
Every paycheck felt like borrowed time
Every bottle held a father's crime
Tried to hide it, keep the family blind
Till that stairwell shattered our design
Now I see through childhood's haze
The price of pride in working days
Inherited more than just your ways
Got your demons and your empty gaze

[Chorus]
Machinery keeps turning, while we're all burning
Generational pain, keeps returning
Watch you fall apart, like the factory's heart
Blood mixed with vodka, where do I start?
Where do I start?

[Outro]
Still hear those machines when I close my eyes
Still see you falling, still hear your lies
Love you through weakness, hate you for tries
Factory son watching factory dies
Watching factory dies...
