12-Hour Shift

Twelve hours in the dark, I walk in these halls

Badge on my chest, still answering calls

Eyes getting heavy, but I can't drift off

Every shadow got a story, every step got a cost

I'm tired, but I'm still on watch

Holding down the line ′til the clock stops

Feet hurt, mind race, I'm pushing through

Security officer life, this is what I do

Break room, coffee gone cold in my hand

Another long night, but I stick to the plan

Radio crackles, I'ma lurk through this train

Guarding every doorway through the wounding rain

I'm tired, but I still won't watch

Holding on the line till the dope clock stops

Feet hurt my race, I'm pushing through

Security officer life

This is what I do

When the sun comes up and the shift is done

I'll breathe again, but the night ain't won

One more round, one more scan

I'm worn out, but I do what I can

I'm tired, but I'm still, I'm lost

Holding on the line ′til the clock stops

Feed clip my race, I'm pushing through

Security officer life, this is what I do
