Verse 1
Neon saints in a motel glow
Pill dust prayers on a bathroom throne
Halo cracked, but the lights still shine
Lost my soul just to kill some time
Gold chains heavy on a hollow chest
Say I’m blessed but I feel possessed
Every smile just a ghost in drag
Every high got a lower crash
Pre-Chorus
I been running from the silence
Drowning truth in violet nights
If I’m honest, I’m just tired
But the party keeps me alive
Chorus
Drugs, sex, rock and roll
Heart so numb but my pulse still goes
Kiss the devil, let the good times bleed
Dead inside but I’m still dreaming
Hands up high, let the bad love show
We don’t heal, we just overdose
Sing it loud till the lights all blow
Dead inside but I’m still dreaming
Verse 2
Lipstick sins on a broken glass
She don’t ask where my past’s been at
Hotel heaven, hell with a view
Say forever, but we both knew
Money talks, but it never stays
Every night just a borrowed face
Tell myself I’ll slow it down
But the mirror don’t make a sound
Pre-Chorus
I keep dancing with my demons
They know every word I say
If this feeling’s what they call freedom
Why it hurt like this to stay?
Chorus
Drugs, sex, rock and roll
Halo bent but the crown still gold
Love me now, then forget my name
Dead inside but I’m still dreaming
Hands up high, let the bad love show
Pretty lies in the afterglow
Burn it down just to feel control
Dead inside but I’m still dreaming
Bridge
If I die tonight, let the speakers scream
Tell my mama I was chasing dreams
Not a hero, not a villain, no
Just a heartbeat in a radio
I don’t wanna feel, I don’t wanna pray
Just one more night to erase today
If the sky falls, let it fall on me
At least I felt something briefly
Break (Half-time / stripped)
Pour another, I’m fading slow
Say I’m fine but we both know
I been living like a last goodbye
Every night just to feel alive
Final Chorus (Big / emotional)
Drugs, sex, rock and roll
Broken saints in the afterglow
Sing my sins till my voice gives out
Dead inside but I’m screaming now
Hands up high, if you feel this too
Lost souls in a drunken youth
When the lights fade and the dream gets old
I was dead… but I was dreaming
Outro
Neon fades, but the scars still glow
If I make it out, I’ll let you know
DeadButDreaming
