Neon Saints

Verse 1

Neon saints in a motel glow

Pill dust prayers on a bathroom throne

Halo cracked, but the lights still shine

Lost my soul just to kill some time

Gold chains heavy on a hollow chest

Say I’m blessed but I feel possessed

Every smile just a ghost in drag

Every high got a lower crash

Pre-Chorus

I been running from the silence

Drowning truth in violet nights

If I’m honest, I’m just tired

But the party keeps me alive

Chorus

Drugs, sex, rock and roll

Heart so numb but my pulse still goes

Kiss the devil, let the good times bleed

Dead inside but I’m still dreaming

Hands up high, let the bad love show

We don’t heal, we just overdose

Sing it loud till the lights all blow

Dead inside but I’m still dreaming

Verse 2

Lipstick sins on a broken glass

She don’t ask where my past’s been at

Hotel heaven, hell with a view

Say forever, but we both knew

Money talks, but it never stays

Every night just a borrowed face

Tell myself I’ll slow it down

But the mirror don’t make a sound

Pre-Chorus

I keep dancing with my demons

They know every word I say

If this feeling’s what they call freedom

Why it hurt like this to stay?

Chorus

Drugs, sex, rock and roll

Halo bent but the crown still gold

Love me now, then forget my name

Dead inside but I’m still dreaming

Hands up high, let the bad love show

Pretty lies in the afterglow

Burn it down just to feel control

Dead inside but I’m still dreaming

Bridge

If I die tonight, let the speakers scream

Tell my mama I was chasing dreams

Not a hero, not a villain, no

Just a heartbeat in a radio

I don’t wanna feel, I don’t wanna pray

Just one more night to erase today

If the sky falls, let it fall on me

At least I felt something briefly

Break (Half-time / stripped)

Pour another, I’m fading slow

Say I’m fine but we both know

I been living like a last goodbye

Every night just to feel alive

Final Chorus (Big / emotional)

Drugs, sex, rock and roll

Broken saints in the afterglow

Sing my sins till my voice gives out

Dead inside but I’m screaming now

Hands up high, if you feel this too

Lost souls in a drunken youth

When the lights fade and the dream gets old

I was dead… but I was dreaming

Outro

Neon fades, but the scars still glow

If I make it out, I’ll let you know
