Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 Neon bleeding through the diner glass Cigarette smoke, heart beating fast Southside whispers say, pick a lane Northside angels just lie in chains Ghoulies wear red like a warning sign Serpents hiss truth laced with crime Mama says, “Baby, stay outta this” But this town don’t let you exist in peace Pre-Chorus Every alley knows my name Every kiss feels like a loaded gun If I choose wrong, I’m dead by dawn If I choose right, I still might run Chorus So tell me— Do I bleed red or green tonight? Do I bare my fangs or throw my fists to fight? Ghoulies calling from the neon lights Serpents swear they’ll keep me alive I’m stitched in scars, baptized in sin Riverdale don’t let saints win So tell me—whose side am I on When the sirens sing my song? Verse 2 Leather jacket, stolen courage Love tastes like danger and cheap cologne Ghoulies promise power and fear Serpents promise family and bones I’ve seen crowns rot on pretty heads I’ve seen loyalty leave you dead Every gang says they’re the cure But everyone here is sick for sure Pre-Chorus Blood on pavement, chalk on dreams Everyone’s tougher than they seem I’m one wrong word from open war One right lie from something more Chorus Do I bleed red or green tonight? Do I bare my fangs or throw my fists to fight? Ghoulies calling from the neon lights Serpents swear they’ll keep me alive I’m stitched in scars, baptized in sin Riverdale don’t let saints win So tell me—whose side am I on When the sirens sing my song? Bridge (half-time, darker) Flip a coin, kiss a blade Pray to gods that don’t get paid Love don’t live in this damn town It just wears a different crown If I fall, they’ll choose for me A body in the river, no loyalty Final Chorus (big, explosive) I bleed red and green tonight Fangs out, fists up, ready to fight I’ll make my own damn neon sign This town don’t get to choose my life I’m not a Ghoul, I’m not a pawn I’m not the Serpent you put a collar on Riverdale tried to pick my fate But I burn both sides at the gate Outro Sirens fade, sunrise lies I’m still standing—so I decide.
