Neon dust

Streetlights flicker like a dying star

Static dreams in a stolen car

Running red lights, chasing ghosts

Every mile feels too close

Cracked mirrors and a broken name

Burned-out signs in the pouring rain

I hear your voice through the radio

But you faded out long ago

And I—

I keep driving through the night

With your shadow in my sight

(Guitar solo)

We were fire in the neon dust

Burning bright when it turned to rust

Screaming out but we lost the sound

Hearts went up when the world fell down

Yeah we ran, yeah we broke, yeah we bled too much

But we lived in the neon dust

⸻

City hum like a battlefield

Every scar never really healed

Graffiti prayers on subway walls

Echo loud when the silence calls

I got your jacket in the backseat still

Smells like smoke and a reckless thrill

If I stop now I might just feel

Everything that we tried to kill

⸻

And I—

I don’t know who I am

Without you in my hands

⸻

We were fire in the neon dust

Burning bright when it turned to rust

Screaming out but we lost the sound

Hearts went up when the world fell down

Yeah we ran, yeah we broke, yeah we bled too much

But we lived in the neon dust

⸻

(Soft → explosive)

If I crash tonight, let it mean something

If I fade to black, keep the lights running

We were more than just a spark in the dark

We were lightning—

We were reckless—

We were infinite before we fell apart

⸻

We were fire in the neon dust

Never cared if it turned to rust

Even now I can feel the sound

Of our hearts when they hit the ground

Yeah we burned, yeah we loved, yeah it hurt like hell

But we lived—can’t you tell?

⸻

Streetlights flicker, engine hum

I’m still chasing who we were…

In the neon dust
