Living the Nightshift

Midnight hours and the world is asleep, City lights glow, but it's me they keep. Days blend together, lose track of the time, Sunrise feels like crossing a borderline. Clock hands slow, feelin' caught in a haze, All the colors fade to shades of gray. I'd walk away if there were another way, But this paycheck keeps me here night and day. I'm livin' in the night shift, lost in a dream, Where the hours stretch and the silence screams. Can't tell if it's Monday or Friday's light, In this other world, the world of night. Coffee's cold, but it's all I got, Can't break free, even though I thought. One more month, then I'm out of this place, But the bills stack high and I can't escape. Clock hands slow, feelin' caught in a haze, All the colors fade to shades of gray. I'd walk away if there were another way, But this paycheck keeps me here night and day. I'm livin' in the night shift, lost in a dream, Where the hours stretch and the silence screams. Can't tell if it's Monday or Friday's light, In this other world, the world of night. If the sun could just rise up a little faster, Maybe I'd forget this life's disaster. In the neon glow, I'm chasing pay, One more sunrise, one more day. Livin' in the night shift, lost in a dream, Where the hours stretch and the silence screams. Can't tell if it's Monday or Friday's light, In this other world, the world of night. This other world, where time slips away, In the quiet hours, just tryna get paid. Can't see the end, but I'll hold on tight, Living my life in the world of night.
