[Verse 1] They wrapped me in spotlight, Draped me in glow, Painted a smile And called it a show. But under the shimmer, I could still feel the chains— Silk on the surface, Barbed wire in veins. --- [Pre-Chorus – Final Version] You gave me the light but cut off the sound, Built me up just to hold me down. I wore the shine, but not the lie— Now hear me burn when I defy. --- [Chorus] 🎶 Neon chains, dressed like gold, Cut me deep, but never hold. You bought the name, but not my soul— I glow, yeah… But I’m not controlled. Neon chains, light up my cage, But I scream like I own the stage. You think I shine for you to claim— Watch me burn that f***ing name. --- 🎸 [Verse 2] They pixelized my heart, Autotuned my scream, Told me “This is freedom” In a corporate dream. But I still hear the rhythm That comes from below— Where the chords crack concrete, And the truth still grows. --- [Pre-Chorus – Repeat with more bite] You gave me the light but cut off the sound, Built me up just to hold me down. I wore the shine, but not the lie— Now hear me burn when I defy. --- [Chorus – Repeat with layered harmonies + distortion swell] --- 🔥 [Bridge – Spoken over low distorted bassline] > “You lit my chains to make me shine— But I don’t glow for your design. I wear the light that I reclaim— Not your profit. Not your fame.” --- 🎤 [Final Chorus – Slowed, then detonates] Neon chains… break with sound. Every scream brings something down. I was your puppet, now I’m the flame— You gave me neon, I gave you pain.
