Lyrics

NIGHTSHIFT

[Verse 1]

Used to pain, used to putting up a front

People change, now I'm getting what I want

Used to be a people pleaser, now I please myself

When the moonlight hits, I turn to something else

[Pre-Chorus]

Step on my neck, now I'm cutthroat

Insomnia, can't keep my eyes closed

Switching my ego to dark mode

Watch how I twist, like a cyclone

[Chorus]

Then I go nightshift, like this

Don't cross me, 'cause I don't miss

Yeah, when I go nightshift, light switch

Don't test me, 'cause I won't flinch

Yeah, when I go nightshift

[Post-Chorus]

When I go nightshift

[Verse 2]

Why'd you second-guеss me in the first place?

Tеll me that I peaked in '17, but now you're thirsty

Now it's obvious that you don't know what you're talkin' about

When all you do is tear me down

[Pre-Chorus]

Step on my neck, now I'm cutthroat

Insomnia, can't keep my eyes closed

Switching my ego to dark mode

Watch how I twist, like a cyclone

[Chorus]

Then I go nightshift, like this

Don't cross me, 'cause I don't miss

Yeah, when I go nightshift, light switch

Don't test me, 'cause I won't flinch

Yeah, when I go nightshift

[Post-Chorus]

When I go nightshift

[Bridge]

When the moonlight hits me

I turn into somebody else

I don't even recognize myself

[Chorus]

When I go nightshift, like this

Don't cross me, 'cause I don't miss

Yeah, when I go nightshift, light switch

Don't test me, 'cause I won't flinch

Yeah, when I go-
