Graveyard Shift Lyrics

Attend my excavation

I'm still there on my phone

I always did do better

When I was all on my own

I'm a bard of my fate

Words are built in my bones

I only sing what's at stake

Reap what's sown, under stone

My lungs only know how to sing elegies

They whisper of words with a melancholy

That's buried in me and will never, ever, ever leave

Took the graveyard shift, here's my bed, now I sleep

Open up the coffin

Inside's a restless soul

She never went exploring

She's never had a home

I'm a bard of my fate

Words are built in my bones

I only sing what's at stake

Reap what's sown, under stone

My lungs only know how to sing elegies

They whisper of words with a melancholy

That's buried in me and will never, ever, ever leave

Took the graveyard shift, here's my bed, now I sleep

My mind, it decides

To pretend to be fixed

But my body's in bed

And it's decomposing

My blanket, it's dirt

And my pillow is stiff

Like the words on my tongue

Match the ones on my glyph

My lungs only know how to sing elegies

They whisper of words with a melancholy

That's buried in me and will never, ever, ever leave

Took the graveyard shift, here's my bed, now I sleep

Now I sleep
