Track Insight / Lyrics
(uh-uh-oh-oh)
Left alone with steam,
TV flickering, Coffee cold,
3 a.m. hum of fluorescent
Dirt on the counter,
Fingerprints on the glass,
Kettle scream,
Empty streets, last call passive
You're dancing on the edge,
Neon lights your silhouette,
Euphoria and dread,
Fuel for the demons inside
Pulse like a siren,
Electric heartbeat overdrive
Running from the shadows,
Chasing that divine high
(Oh-oh-oh)
High-speed numbness taking hold
No escape from the neon
Drowning in the noise, Chasing the glow (Oh-oh-oh) Synthetic godlight
Fleeting salvation
Crashing down to earth, Head hung low, Coffee-scented breath,
Regret begins its birth
Morning's bitter pill,
Empty bottle on the floor
Neon lights fade away,
The city's waking roar
Neon sobriety,
Burning through the night
Neon sobriety,
Fading into the light
The itch, the crutch, the lie
Running wild, then slowing down
Weighted feet on city streets,
Sounds of life, sounds of pain
The haze lifts, the day breaks through,
Clarity seeps in like a bruise
Resolutions whisper sweet nothings,
As the neon pulses its goodbyes
(Goodbye)
Rise up, stand tall,
Face the rising sun,
Shake off the night's thrall
Leave the neon undone (Goodbye)
Like a dream that's over
Fading into the light
Neon sobriety,
Pulse of the city, Neon sobriety,
Rise up and fly
(uh-uh-oh-oh)
Walking into the dawn,
Leaving the neon torn
Face to the rising sun,
Starting over, begun
