(Intro)
Yeah…
City lights flicker like a warning sign
We don’t read rules, we just cross the line
(Verse 1)
Raised by the static of a broken TV,
Mama said pray, but the streets raised me
Sneakers on wires, dreams in the gutter
Sirens sing lullabies, make your heart stutter
Bottle half full, yeah I toast to the pain
Cheap thrills runnin’ through my veins
Smoke in my lungs, got ghosts in my chest
Every bad decision got me feelin’ blessed
Kiss with a stranger in a bathroom stall
Graffiti our names on a crumbling wall
Cash in my pocket, but it burns like sin
Laugh now, let the chaos in
(Pre-Chorus)
We don’t wanna sleep, we don’t wanna feel
Turn the heartbreak into something unreal
Middle fingers up to the morning sun
If we crash and burn, at least we run
(Chorus)
We’re rebels in the neon light
Dancing on the edge all night
Liquor tears and lipstick stains
Pleasure cuts but we love the pain
We’re kings and queens of the afterglow
Fast life moving way too slow
If tomorrow comes, we’ll deal with it then
Tonight we sin like we’re born again
(Verse 2)
Powder on the mirror, shattered reflection
Looking for love in the wrong direction
Heartbeat racing like stolen cars
We measure our worth by invisible scars
Hotel rooms and tangled sheets
High heels clicking to a broken beat
Whispers like smoke in a darkened room
Young and reckless, chasing doom
Laughing loud with a cracked-up grin
Every new high just pulls us in
Friends turn strangers by morning light
But we swear it’s freedom every night
(Bridge)
Tell me what’s a soul worth anyway?
When the world feels cold and grey
If heaven’s real, it can wait in line
We’re building hell and calling it fine
(Chorus)
We’re rebels in the neon light
Dancing on the edge all night
Liquor tears and lipstick stains
Pleasure cuts but we love the pain
We’re kings and queens of the afterglow
Fast life moving way too slow
If tomorrow comes, we’ll deal with it then
Tonight we sin like we’re born again
(Outro)
Sunrise hits like a loaded gun
Another night we never outrun
Ashes fall where angels used to be
Long live the lost… long live the free.
