dead on feet
Beyond utterly spent
Dead on feet describes extreme exhaustion while still standing or functioning.
Someone dead on their feet has pushed past normal fatigue but hasn't yet collapsed: After a double shift, she was dead on her feet but still taking orders.
The phrase captures that zombie-like state of moving through motions while the body screams for rest.
