Night Shift

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Tattered ghost ships sailin' outta sight I've been writing about them most of my life Couldn't find it in my heart of hearts to lie about the fight So I set it all on fire and disappeared into the night Now you were looking for some flaws? Let me hit you with that list Some of y'all were talkin' at me like I didn't own my shit Bloody murder was that script Now I'm walking on a fine line carefully I don't need anyone takin' care of me You seem a little shocked Is it 'cause you smell the kerosene? 'Cause I made a profit out of using my self-destruction as therapy I own that I put it out in front and let the cold pass But you still try to chip away my highs like you use a low pass, so fuck it This is not the first time I've had to cope Or had to measure out the distance of the gallows rope I tasted every single toxin in that cloud of smoke Surroundin' you allowin' you to pretend that you know, but you don't [Hook] If-if you were pushin' through that night shift Runnin' all day Workin' all night Money tight Not a dollar to spend, would you do it again? (I would, I would) Because I was pushin' through that night shift Runnin' all day Workin' all night Over-time For a dollar to spend, just to do it again! (I would, I would, I would) [Verse 2] Deep waters conceal the darkest of truths I've been around it since a youth And even though I'll never truly understand it or break it down to the roots I always navigate it honest and true Oh you were lookin' for some dirt Let me give your ass a spade look Underminin' me has become as popular as Facebook I turn another page You keep givin' me the same look Actin' like I shouldn't catch my compliments and pain with the same hook I'm climbin' I don't need to put it all behind me The past is underneath me I ditch the anchor and fly free The simple flash of a moment tryin' to blind me is somethin' you'll learn is impossible to define me, so fuck it This is not my first song and dance This is not my resignation letter to the fans This is something that you'll probably never understand Until you learn to face your battles like a man, but you can't [Hook] If-if you were pushin' through that night shift Runnin' all day Workin' all night Money tight Not a dollar to spend, would you do it again? (I would, I would) Because I was pushin' through that night shift Runnin' all day Workin' all night Over-time For a dollar to spend, just to do it again! (I would, I would, I would)
