Night Shift In My Head

Yeah

Late night

Too loud in my brain (uh)

Scrolling through my sins on the cracked phone screen

Left my pride on read in a thread at 3

Got my doubts in the back like they ride for free

Every “maybe I’m fine” feels cheap to me

Mom call, say pray, I just pace this room

Same stain on the wall like a second moon

Old shoes by the door, ain’t touched ’em in June

Hope on E, still pushin’, fumes

It’s a night shift in my head

Clock in when I hit that bed

Dreams talk slick, they want me misled

But I still show up, still show up instead

It’s a night shift in my head (yeah)

Can’t punch out, can’t pretend

If the dark cashes out what I dread

I’ma still show up, still show up again

Friends post gold, I just scroll past fast

Every smile that I like kinda cut like glass

They say, “Bro, you up?” I just lie, “I’m blessed”

Heart on mute, but it leak through text

Old love in my chats, got a ghost on read

Her sweatshirt in a box at the foot of the bed

I keep plans, keep plans that I never attend

Say “soon,” say “soon,” then I miss again

It’s a night shift in my head

Clock in when I hit that bed

Dreams talk slick, they want me misled

But I still show up, still show up instead

It’s a night shift in my head (night shift)

Can’t punch out, can’t pretend

If the dark cashes out what I dread

I’ma still show up, still show up again

Who am I when the likes log off?

When the mask slide down, when the jokes fall off?

If I lay this truth on the table, raw

Would you stay, would you stay, or walk? (yeah)

It’s a night shift in my head

Clock in when I hit that bed

Dreams talk slick, they want me misled

But I still show up, still show up instead

It’s a night shift in my head (night shift)

Can’t punch out, can’t pretend

If the dark cashes out what I dread

I’ma still show up, still show up again
