Neon Nightfall

[Verse 1] Lights hum low but the neon bites City’s a maze full of wrongs and rights Smoke drips slow like a ghost in the air I chase shadows But nobody's there Streetlights blink like they're keeping score Echoes creep through a slamming door I see her laugh in a shattered frame But the mirror don’t call my name [Chorus] Neon nightfall I’m losing it all I’m running in circles I’m hitting the wall Neon nightfall The city's my cage I’m caught in the glow I’m stuck on this stage [Verse 2] Heartbeats sync with the bassline thump Fingers tap glass but my chest stays numb I’m a vinyl scratch in a digital world A burnt-out match where the smoke still swirled Her voice lingers like a song unsung She said I was young but my clock’s unstrung A paper boat on a floodlit street I float too fast but my roots dig deep [Bridge] What’s the cost of a wish on a star When the sky’s too cloudy to see that far What’s the use of a dream deferred When the echoes speak but they slur their words
