about

The Graveyard Shift is a celebration of anything dark and dead. I wrote this song inspired by my favourite season, Halloween, after deciding that there weren’t enough spooky songs dedicated to the season. The Graveyard Shift is all about letting go and giving into darker, twisted versions of ourselves, whilst also referencing the nostalgia of Halloween which I experienced growing up - TRICK OR TREAT.

lyrics

I work the graveyard shift every night of the week
I listen for the bells to make sure they’re asleep
But there’s one night unlike any I’ve seen
And that’s the 31st, what they call halloween
Do you remember when you thought you owned me
On my back you were so controlling
Tonight’s the night that I’m breaking free
Cause you’re fucking with a dark energy

Trick or treat
You got your invite
Six feet under the dirt tonight
Carved your name so nothing’s missed
When you join me on my graveyard shift
I’m not behind you, I’m in your head
‘Cause keeping us alive is raising the dead
Delivering one final kiss
You’re forever on the graveyard shift

All the times I let you get away
I was just too scared now it’s time to pay
666 bitch, it’s crystal clear
That hell is empty and the devils are here
Do you hear it
You’re out of time
Bells are ringing
The clock still chimes
Bloodbath, you’re my sacrifice
So let’s celebrate all the dead tonight

Trick or treat
You got your invite
Six feet under the dirt tonight
Carved your name so nothing’s missed
When you join me on my graveyard shift
I’m not behind you, I’m in your head
Cause keeping us alive is raising the dead
Delivering one final kiss
You’re forever on the graveyard shift

You can’t leave me like this
I’m ever so violent
When you go silent I’m wild
The demons have awakened now it’s time to play
And for you I’m bloodthirsty
I thought you knew me
I never seek revenge
You push too much
And now you’ve reached the end
And now your time is up
This ain’t a horror story about to get gory
And I’m not sorry, not sorry

Trick or treat
You got your invite
Six feet under the dirt tonight
Carved your name so nothing’s missed
When you join me on my graveyard shift
I’m not behind you, I’m in your head
Cause keeping us alive is raising the dead
Delivering one final kiss
You’re forever on the graveyard shift

Trick or treat
You got your invite
Six feet under the dirt tonight
Carved your name so nothing’s missed
When you join me on my graveyard shift
I’m not behind you, I’m in your head
Cause keeping us alive is raising the dead
Delivering one final kiss
You’re forever on the graveyard shift
