[Verse 1] Static in the hallway, blood on the screen The phone rings once And I slip into a dream The voice says “clean it up,” and I obey But I don’t know who I was yesterday Shadows wear my face, I wear theirs too Every room I leave is red, not blue She was the only thing that wasn’t fake And they took her from me just to see if I’d break [Pre-Chorus] I feel the jungle in my veins I hear the chopper in the rain I wear the mask to kill the man But what if there’s no “me” left to stand? [Chorus] I’m just noise in the neon Flesh and code in a loop gone wrong They pull the strings, I bleed the song Tell me—who do I become when the mask comes off? (Nothing. No one. Gone.) [Verse 2] She overdosed in peace, but I brought war Held her hand on that filthy floor Thought I could save her, thought I was real Now I don’t even know if I can feel The mob is burning, the club is ash But vengeance don’t rewind the past I kill to remember, I kill to forget And every name I carve just fuels the debt [Pre-Chorus] Flashes of steel and a smeared vignette Memories fail like a glitched cassette Nightmares of 'Nam still play on loop And the Shadows breathe into my living room [Chorus] I’m just noise in the neon Another war story to disagree on They push the call, I play the pawn Tell me.... can I be more than a mask and a gun? [Bridge - instrumental drop / whispered voiceover] You think you’re awake… But dreams scream louder than the streets. There’s mercy in madness. You found her. And lost her. Again. And again. What’s left now? [Final Chorus - distorted, echoing like broadcast interference] I’m just noise in the neon Heartbeat drowned in dial tone I wore the mask to save someone But it’s me who vanished when the killing was done… (No name. No soul. No home.) (Just noise in the neon.)
