Night Shift |
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 |
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) |
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 |
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) |
