I was given the title “Graveyard Shift” and 24 hours to write this. And this is the result…
Graveyard Shift
V1
It’s time to get up
there’s so much work to do
finish digging that grave
for me and you
gonna get my shovel
and start digging in
it’s the graveyard shift again
V2
I may as well work
since I cannot sleep
I won’t rest in peace
till that grave’s so deep
that it buries all memories
of your body your skin
it’s the graveyard shift again
CHRS
there is no measure of time or of size
to bury the hope I’ve been keeping alive
till I cover your grave
and there’s none of you left
I’m on the graveyard shift
I’m on the graveyard shift
V3
there are broken pieces
far as I can see
there are miles of regrets
and a mountain of grief
I may need a machine
cause I don’t have the strength
for the graveyard shift again
and it’s the graveyard shift again
feel like I’m burying myself alive
