Neon Graveyards

Streetlight flickers like it's countin' my sins. Neon bleedin' on the walls where the night begins. Shadows barter souls for a pocket of change. While the dealers play God and the rules rearrange. Every corner whispers names I shouldn't know. Every eye in the dark says I shouldn't go. But my footsteps echo in the alley's veins. Chasing ghosts that hide in the city's chains. Neon graveyards, where the lost come to sleep. We dance with the danger, we pray to survive. Neon graveyards, eat the ones still alive. Saw a girl with a halo made of cigarette Smoke. Her smile was a blade every heartstroke Broke. She said, "Baby, this city don't forgive or Feed. It just takes what it wants, And it drinks your bleed." The sirens sing lullabies down the block. While the junkies play truth or dare with the Clock. And the dreamers paint hope on a broken Door. Till the rain comes down, And it's gone once more. Neon graveyards, where the lost come to sleep. Every light's a lie, every promise too cheap. We dance with the danger, we pray to survive. Neon graveyards, eat the ones still alive. If the streets could speak, they'd confess their Crimes. Every shadow's a priest, every bell tolls Time. We live like kings for a borrowed night. But the crown turns dust by the morning light. Neon graveyards, where the lost come to sleep. Every light's a lie, every promise too cheap. We dance with the danger, we pray to survive. Neon graveyards, eat the ones still alive. Under the neon glow, I fade to black. Another ghost The city won't give back.
