Neon Tombs

City lights flicker like halos in hell-
Run the shadows feel the static hear the church‑tower bell

Concrete veins bleed chrome at night
We're ghosted kids in the sodium light
Skyscraper coffins graffiti scars
Trading our truths for cigarette stars

Heartbeat hammer steel‑toed prayer
Sirens chant in the toxic air

Raise up the neon tombs-
Let the dead‑end glow consume
We scream "One life one doom"
'Til the last streetlamp exhales fumes
(Yeah!) Raise up the neon tombs
Under moon‑sick city runes
We live we lose we bloom
In these neon neon tombs

Chain‑link halos crown the lost
Hope is a price and we pay full cost
Cracked black mirrors barbed‑wire grace
Love tastes like rust in this cyber‑waste

Raise up the neon tombs-
Let the dead‑end glow consume
We scream "One life one doom"
'Til the last streetlamp exhales fumes
Raise up the neon tombs
Under moon‑sick city runes
We live we lose we bloom
In these neon neon tombs

You hear that? (Hear what?)
Clock ticking like a bomb under skin
Ain't no exit? (Not one)
We ride the dark 'til the dark rides in
(Til it rides right in)

Daybreak's mercy never comes
Night keeps time on rusted drums
We drag our dreams through broken glass
Ink our names where legends pass

Raise up the neon tombs-
Let the dead‑end glow consume
We scream "One life one doom"
'Til the last streetlamp exhales fumes
Raise up the neon tombs-
Under moon‑sick city runes
We live we lose we bloom
(HEY! HEY!) In these neon neon tombs

Shine on you violent neon
'Cause even tombs can bloom
