GRAVEYARD SHIFT

Lyrics: [Intro – Distant Wind / Low Guitar Swell] Midnight settles in the ground… No one left… no living sound… ⸻ [Verse 1] Clock strikes twelve, the air turns still Every shadow bends at will Empty streets and hollow light Something wakes up with the night Footsteps echo, soft and slow But they’re not mine—I know, I know Turn around, there’s nothing there Still I feel it in the air ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – Quiet Tension] Every second stretching thin Like it’s waiting to begin Something just beyond my sight… ⸻ [Chorus – Smooth / Haunting] On the graveyard shift tonight Something’s moving out of sight Every breath I take feels wrong Like I don’t belong In the silence, in the dark I can feel it leave its mark Getting closer, step by step… On the graveyard shift ⸻ [Verse 2] Streetlight flickers, fades to black Like it knows it’s coming back Cold wind whispers through the trees Calling out—but not to me Every window, every door Feels like something keeping score I don’t know what’s real or not But I feel like I’ve been caught ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Every sound cuts through the air Like a warning—“Don’t stay there” Something’s breathing in the night… ⸻ [Chorus – Fuller / Darker] On the graveyard shift tonight I’m not alone beneath this light Every step I try to take Feels like a mistake In the silence, something moves Through the cracks I can’t disprove Getting closer, no escape… On the graveyard shift ⸻ [Bridge – Minimal / Chilling] If I stand completely still… Will it lose me… or just wait? Does it need me to move… Or has it sealed my fate… ⸻ [Instrumental – Slow Build / Echoing Guitar] ⸻ [Final Chorus – Emotional / Controlled Intensity] On the graveyard shift tonight I can feel it by my side Every shadow starts to breathe Every doubt I can’t leave In the silence, in the cold There’s a story left untold And I know it’s meant for me… On the graveyard shift ⸻ [Outro – Fading / Whispered Wind] Footsteps stop… but I don’t turn… Some things… you don’t need to learn… ⸻
