Coffee time

[Instrumental intro]

The morning comes again, another day begins
My hands shake slightly as I pour the beans
Just trying to keep my routine

[Verse 1]
Six minutes for the water to heat up and rise
I count the seconds while watching the skies
The kettle starts its familiar song
While sirens tell me something's wrong
I stir my coffee, black and strong
Pretending that I can carry on

[Chorus]
This is my morning in a broken town
Where coffee tastes like fear and doubt
I'm holding onto what I know
While everything else starts to go

[Verse 2]
The radio crackles with updates and lies
I spread some butter, eat my slice of life
My neighbor's window's taped with crosses
I sip and count today's losses
The spoon clinks against porcelain
Like bullets hitting metal, again and again

[Chorus]
This is my morning in a broken town
Where coffee tastes like fear and doubt
I'm holding onto what I know
While everything else starts to go

[Rap]
Breakfast table's set for two but I'm alone today
Phone's dead silent, power's gone, nothing left to say
Muscle memory keeps me moving through the motions now
Making coffee like the world ain't falling down, somehow
Every morning ritual feels like resistance
Keep my hands steady, maintain the distance
Between the me that's breaking and the me that's strong
Between the life I had and the life that's gone

[Bridge]
Maybe tomorrow the streets will clear
Maybe tomorrow they'll disappear
But for now I'll drink my coffee slow
It's all I have, it's all I know

[Chorus]
This is my morning in a broken town
Where coffee tastes like fear and doubt
I'm holding onto what I know
While everything else starts to go

[Outro]
The cup is empty, the day's begun
Another morning, another sun
Time to face what waits outside
But first, one more sip to stay alive
