Shift At Six

Lyrics

Verse 1
I came in at midnight, badge still bent
Papers on the floor and the lock got rent
One light in the hall and the whole place shook
Four broken faces in a murder-house book

I watch that door while the monitors blink
Foxy on the left and I barely think
Cup full of coffee, eyes gone red
If the power dies, then the night gets fed

You got a mop? I got a metal door
I got a busted frame and a rusted core
You scrub that floor while the screams get loud
I keep the place alive like a curse in a crowd

When the clock hits six, I’m still on guard
You walk in the dark? Better raise that bar
Little night guard, yeah, I did that grind
Outsmarted nightmares with a thin-ass line

Pre-Chorus
Tick, tick, hold that breath
One more hour from a ratchet death
Red eyes glow, the room goes thin
Who the hell you think can take this win?

Chorus
Who got the night? I got the night
Who kept the door? I kept the night
Who heard them move? I heard them move
Who’s still alive? I got the proof
(keep the door)
(keep the door)
Who got the night? I got the night
I stay up hard, I survive

Verse 2
Now here comes the janitor with a bloodstained grin
Sweeping broken glass in a devil’s den
You drive that arcadeside wreck to dust
Punch through packs like you don’t give a fuck

You found them maniacs in the middle of a maze
Turned a cursed little shack to a furnace blaze
Vacuum in one hand, pipe in the other
You stomped through killers like a bad big brother

Eight freaks in the dark with a hunger for meat
You cracked that skull and you cleaned that beat
No fear in your face when the walls went loud
You drag that whole damn circus through the crowd

I know your kind, you don’t talk much
You let your fists do the brutal touch
But this ain’t some shift where you clean and leave
This is a suit-full grave and a cold machine

Pre-Chorus
Tick, tick, hold that breath
One more hour from a ratchet death
Sirens spin and the bass line snaps
Tell that beast to step to the trap

Chorus
Who got the night? I got the night
Who kept the door? I kept the night
Who heard them move? I heard them move
Who’s still alive? I got the proof
(keep the door)
(keep the door)
Who got the night? I got the night
I stay up hard, I survive

Bridge
Yeah, I seen the end through a flicker of static
You seen a whole pack turn into a panic
Old bones in the suit and a grin made mean
I was trapped with the dead in a broken machine

But you, you kicked through the rot and the shame
Raised hell in the dark like you wore that name
One man, one shift, one ugly war
Tell me who gets to stand when the world wants more?

Break
half-time drop
Heavy steps
Cold checks
One breath
No regrets

Verse 3
So throw that battle line, I’m ready for war
With the rust on my hands and the blood on the floor
You can mop up ghosts, I can hold that frame
Same damn rage, just a different name

I watched those monsters twitch when the screen cut black
You watched them swing first, then you swung back
I heard the laugh in the vents, you heard the snap
Both of us lived through the same damn trap

They call me the guard where the cameras fail
You’re the cleaner who survived that hell
One kept watch, one broke the curse
Same black night, same brutal verse

So if the whole place shakes and the system bends
We don’t run, we just make amends
With a cracked-down heart and a savage drive
Two hard men keep the dead alive

Final Chorus
Who got the night? I got the night
Who kept the door? I kept the night
Who heard them move? I heard them move
Who’s still alive? I got the proof
(keep the door)
(keep the door)
Who got the night? I got the night
I stay up hard, I survive

Who got the night? You got the night
Who broke the pack? You broke the night
Who took the fear? We took the fear
Who’s still here? We’re still here
(keep the door)
(keep the door)
Who
