The Shift

Burning tires and a stolen car
I fucked up so bad outside the bar
Heading out as far away I can
Heart is pounding, got so damn out of hand
Doing ninety through the city night
Nothing's ever gonna be alright
Life will never be what it was, hands are shaking
'Cause now my future's crashing down on me

They tried to kill me when I fought back
I cracked their skulls with a baseball bat
No justice will ever make this right
I need to run and stay out of sight
Had no choice, it was me or them
Now for a lifetime, I'm condemned
Have to forget my old set way of life
I'll go to prison or die by the knife

I hear the sirens they are closing in
Turn to fast cars, starts to spin
Screaming tires, time is running short
I'll go on foot as my last resort
Running harder, faster than before
Until my legs and feet are sore
Life will never be what it was, my mind is shaking
'Cause now my future's crashing down on me
(crashing down on me)

They tried to kill me when I fought back
I cracked their skulls with a baseball bat
No justice will ever make this right
I need to run and stay out of sight
Had no choice, it was me or them
Now for a lifetime, I'm condemned
Have to forget my old set way of life
I'll go to prison or die by the knife

What the hell did you do?

Now my future's crashing down on me

They tried to kill me when I fought back
I cracked their skulls with a baseball bat
No justice will ever make this right
I need to run and stay out of sight
Had no choice, it was me or them
Now for a lifetime, I'm condemned
Have to forget my old set way of life
I'll go to prison or die by the knife

They tried to kill me when I fought back
I cracked their skulls with a baseball bat
No justice will ever make this right
I need to run and stay out of sight
Had no choice, it was me or them
Now for a lifetime, I'm condemned
Have to forget my old set way of life
I'll go to prison or die by the knife
