[Intro — whispered / filtered]
City prays in the glow, I read the lines you left,
Ink of neon, heartbeat theft.
[Verse 1]
We wrote promises on storefront glass,
Confessions in reflections as the hours pass.
You blessed my sins with a crooked smile,
Now I worship midnight for a little while.
Streetlight sacraments, your shadow swore,
Saints of broken promises on every corner.
I held your sermon like it healed my shame,
But holy words come hollow when you change the name.
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept the verses in my coat, close to the bone,
Humming like a hymn when I walk alone.
You said forever — it sounded like a prayer,
But prayers burn out without someone there.
[Chorus — repeatable hook]
Write my name in the neon scripture,
Say I’m yours, then let the lights flicker.
We pray to the night and we drink to the fires,
I keep your ghost in these small desires.
(Write my name — write my name) — Neon scripture.
[Post-Chorus / Tag — 6–10s hook for TikTok]
Say my name, watch the city glow — (echo: neon, neon)
[Verse 2 — more urgent]
Your promises taste like a cigarette,
A bright bright burn that I can’t forget.
We traded truth for gloss and shade,
Golden halos rust in the deals we made.
I learned to read the light between lies,
To find my pulse where the skyline dies.
You wanted heaven, I wanted home,
Now I build altars out of things I own.
[Bridge — pullback, vocal run, very emotional]
If love’s a scripture, I misread the page,
I chased an altar through a haunted age.
Now I sing softer, but I sing my name,
Neon baptized — I don’t do shame.
[Chorus — full, layered]
Write my name in the neon scripture,
Say I’m yours, then let the lights flicker.
We pray to the night and we drink to the fires,
I keep your ghost in these small desires.
(Write my name — write my name) — Neon scripture.
[Outro — vocal chop + fading beat]
City prays in the glow…
Say my name… neon… scripture…
