Track Insight / Lyrics
I collect tolls all night, a solitary beat
Phone wires witness every tear, lost love, and regret
Neon signs gleam like hope, city's endless heart
Pulse through my veins, it never parts
Familiar ache in my chest, a fire that won't cease
Longing for a warm embrace, or a gentle kiss on my knees
But the night keeps moving on, no respite from the pain
I hold fast to the highway's hum, my only friend, my refrain
Neon rise, electro-lit skies
Massive synths pierce the night's disguise
Pulse ignites, the crowd takes flight
Let the music be our light
In the strobe of clubs, a world unaware
Of this toll collector's burning stare
I'd trade it all for just one night
To lose myself in city lights
Perhaps that's the price I pay
To feel alive in this endless gray
But even neon can't chase the night
When love is the light that's out of sight
Neon rise, electro-lit skies
Massive synths pierce the night's disguise
Pulse ignites, the crowd takes flight
Let the music be our light
Neon rise, the city never sleeps
Even in darkness, our moments meet
Neon lights, phone poles, and driving beats
In the pulsing heart of the streets
Sometimes I'll steal a glance at the clock
Marking time, as the hours knock
But lost in rhythm, the minutes fade to gray
I'd gladly pay for this neon play
The city's my savior, its energy my fire
Through the tollbooth's glass, I watch desire
In every stranger's eyes, a potential friend
A chance to break the end, and start again
Neon rise, electro-lit skies
Massive synths pierce the night's disguise
Pulse ignites, the crowd takes flight
Let the music be our light
Neon rise, the city never sleeps
Even in darkness, our moments meet
Neon lights, phone poles, and driving beats
In the pulsing heart of the streets
Neon signs fade, phone poles recede
The city's heartbeat slows as dawn proceeds
In the stillness, their echoes remain
Neon rise, the love and the pain.
