Neon Memories

[Verse] In a neon city where electric rivers flow, There was a time not long ago. Before the steel and circuits took control, We lived our lives, hearts were whole. [Verse 2] Back in the days, kids played in the street, Not a drone or bot, just boots on their feet. Stores were filled with family-owned pride, Not a hologram sign, just love inside. [Chorus] Oh, I remember when the sky was clear, And nights were filled with stars so near. Now it's all wires and endless screens, I miss the days of simple dreams. [Verse 3] The diner on Main served pies with flair, Now it's just a machine, no one to care. The laughter that echoed through open doors, Gone with the incident, lost in the roar. [Verse 4] Johnny's guitar used to sing at the bar, Now it's played by a robot, feels so far. The jukebox played tunes we'd all hum along, Now it's all algorithms, something feels wrong. [Bridge] But I hold onto the memories tight, When the city was golden in soft twilight. I'll tell the tales of how it used to be, In hopes that one day, we’ll break free.
