[Intro — whispered / distorted] Neon rain... Chrome veins... Another name... Another grave... Yeah... [Verse 1] Midnight running through the city lights Blacktop bleeding underneath my tires Sirens screaming like they know my name Everybody's got a price to pay Chrome reflections in the window glass See the ghosts of everyone I passed Dreams get buried underneath the glow Night City takes what you can't let go [Pre-Chorus] I've watched angels turn to machines I've watched heroes disappear Everybody's chasing something Everybody's dying here But I won't... [Chorus — huge, explosive] Die in the neon graveyard Burning underneath the stars We were born with broken hearts Now we're made of chrome and scars Ride until the lights go dark Run until we fall apart If this city wants my soul Tell it come and take it all NEON GRAVEYARD! We don't die—we leave a mark NEON GRAVEYARD! Lighting up the fucking dark [Backing vocals — airy falsetto] Ooh-ahh... Ooh-ahh... We don't die... [Verse 2] Purple lightning crawling through the haze Digital ghosts trapped inside the rain Every billboard selling paradise While another kid gets buried every night I got static running through my blood Got a heart that never learned to trust If tomorrow never comes for me At least tonight I fucking lived free [Pre-Chorus] I've watched lovers turn to strangers I've watched brothers turn to ghosts Everybody wants forever But forever costs the most So I won't... [Chorus — bigger] Die in the neon graveyard Burning underneath the stars We were born with broken hearts Now we're made of chrome and scars Ride until the lights go dark Run until we fall apart If this city wants my soul Tell it come and take it all NEON GRAVEYARD! We don't die—we leave a mark NEON GRAVEYARD! Lighting up the fucking dark [Post-Chorus — glitch] Chrome... Blood... Neon... Dust... Run. [Bridge — stripped down / emotional] Maybe we're already ghosts Maybe that's the price we pay For chasing something bigger Than the lives they gave away If I disappear tonight Don't you mourn me in the rain Just remember I was alive When the whole damn city went insane [Build — whispered → screamed] One more night... One more ride... One more chance... TO FEEL ALIVE! [Final Chorus — massive] NEON GRAVEYARD! Burning underneath the stars We were born with broken hearts Now we're made of chrome and scars Ride until the lights go dark Run until we fall apart If this city wants my soul Tell it come and take it all NEON GRAVEYARD! We don't die—we leave a mark NEON GRAVEYARD! Lighting up the fucking dark [Outro — distant vocals] Neon rain... Chrome veins... Another name... Another grave... [Airy falsetto] Ooh-ahh... Ooh-ahh... [Whisper] We don't die... We become the city.
