Aloha.
I need to attach the word to the rest so the rest of the lyrics align
properly. I don't think shifting it will do the job (although I'll try it).

I'm struggling to align some lyrics and the problem seems to be that I cannot
find any way to align syllables to rests.
Do you want to attach the syllable(s) to the rest(s), or simply nudge the
syllable left a little (e.g., to relax the lyric spacing that follows)?
If the latter, then try:
\version "2.24.3"
global = {
\time 4/4
\key b \major
\tempo 4=80
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff {
\relative c' {
\global
r4 r8 fis8 fis [fis fis gis ( ] gis4 ) e8 e ( e4 ) r4 |
r4 r8 dis16 dis dis8 e4 fis8 |
}
}
\addlyrics {
\tweak self-alignment-X #0.5 but it's writ -- ten in the star -- light
__ _ _
}
>>
}
[where you can obviously adjust the #0.5 to your liking]
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
