[Verse 1] Patrol the night, lights hum low, Forklifts moving… but nobody I know. Shadows shift, pallets squeak and glide, I blink twice, maybe my eyes lied. [Verse 2] Badge scans say someone’s here, But it ain’t human, that much is clear. I check the cameras, nothing to show, Still that feeling… I don’t wanna know. [Chorus] I’ll take the day shift, let nights be gone, I’ve done my rounds, I’ve seen the dawn. Everything checks out, or so they say, I’ll just work mornings… and sleep the day away. [Verse 3] Whispers in the office, echoes of “done,” Work completed… but no one’s on the run. I saw it happen… or maybe I dreamed, Either way, I’ll stick to daylight beams. [Bridge] “Probably tired…” I tell myself, “Lighting tricks… just shelf by shelf.” Badge logs match, system’s green, But still I think I saw something obscene. [Chorus] I’ll take the day shift, let nights be gone, I’ve done my rounds, I’ve seen the dawn. Everything checks out, or so they say, I’ll just work mornings… and sleep the day away. [Outro] Final night, I hand in the form, Quiet request, no alarm. Morning’s my shift, night’s not my scene, Forklifts and cats—leave that between.
