WN ZXT - Night Shift Ghost Lyrics

[Intro]
Paper mill's empty halls echo my pain
Shadows dance where Erik's ghost still remains
Night shift memories keep me awake
Tryna stay sane for my brother's sake

[Verse 1]
3 AM, punch the clock, same routine
Mind's playing tricks while I'm grinding these machines
Last voice note from Erik still on my phone
"Keep it real brother, streets got me grown"
F*ck these demons that won't let me sleep
Every pill he popped was a promise he couldn't keep
Factory floor's my therapist now
Working through trauma while the city bows

[Chorus]
Empty halls, paper walls
Watch me crawl through these industrial halls
Ghost of you won't let me fall
But survival's all I know after all

[Verse 2]
They want my story for their podcast fame
Turn my pain to content, make Erik a name
But how you gonna package all this hurt?
When every memory feels like swallowing dirt
Night shift keeps me from losing my mind
Pop these pills just to leave it all behind
But I ain't going out like my mentor did
Streets took everything, left me here amid

[Bridge]
Factory whispers your name in the dark
Each machine beat matches my broken heart
Can't wash your blood off these calloused hands
Memory fragments I can't understand

[Verse 3]
Working class heroes die everyday
Media vultures got nothing to say
Till they need a story about the streets
Then they come running, but they don't see
The empty chair at mama's dinner table
The missed calls when shit wasn't stable
Now I'm here grinding through the night
Keeping your memory burning bright

[Outro]
Paper mill's empty halls echo my pain
But I survive, that's what you taught me to maintain
Ghost of Erik in these industrial walls
Teaching me still how to stand f*cking tall
