(Intro)
(Slow, brooding felt piano chords with heavy ambient rain)
Midnight static on the radio
You looked at me and told me not to let you go
A neon glow upon your face
We locked ourselves inside a temporary space
(Verse 1)
(Slow, heavy trap kick drum enters every 4 beats, deep sub-bass rumble)
Golden words that started to rust
A fragile kingdom we built out of dust
You held my hand, you swore it was real
But hearts have a way of failing to feel
You traced the lines...Said I was the one
(Pre-Chorus)
(Drums stop, massive pulsing synths rise with an aggressive snare roll)
Neon promises written in the dark
You painted a sky, but left no spark
You built a fortress out of smoke and glass
Knowing it wasn't designed to last
Yeah
(Fake-out)
(Everything cuts to total silence, vocal shifts to distorted whisper)
Now it's just cold
(DROP)
(Massive distorted melodic dubstep growls explode with heavy stadium snare and vibrating 808 bass)
Neon promises!
(Heavy bass growl / Vocal chop)
N-N-Neon
Shattered in the dark!
(Sustained, deep 808 bass slide)
You left no spark!
(Violent synth growl)
(Verse 2)
(Heavy drop clears out, shifting to a sparse, industrial rhythm with ticking hi-hats and deep 808s)
Whispered secrets on my skin
Where did the lie end, and the truth begin?
You watch me bleed, you watch me fade
Standing in the wreckage that you made
(Pre-Chorus)
(Drums stop, massive pulsing synths rise with an aggressive snare roll)
Neon promises written in the dark
You painted a sky, but left no spark
You built a fortress out of smoke and glass
Knowing it wasn't designed to last
Yeah
(Fake-out)
(Everything cuts to total silence, vocal shifts to distorted whisper)
Now it's just cold
(DROP)
(Massive distorted melodic dubstep growls explode with heavy stadium snare and vibrating 808 bass)
Neon promises!
(Heavy bass growl / Vocal chop)
N-N-Neon
Shattered in the dark!
(Sustained, deep 808 bass slide)
You left no spark!
(Violent synth growl)
(Outro)
(Drums disappear completely, leaving only a low, sinking 808 bass tone and loud rain effects)
You said forever...
Now it’s just cold
Yeah
(Sharp tape-stop click cuts the sub-bass, leaving only the sound of fading rain
