[Verse 1] Neon lights fade, like whispering shadows Coffee cup cold Last train gone Your jacket on the back of my chair Static screen glow on a dusty old bar sign Half-read text Half-meant words Your name still stuck to my tongue [Chorus] We keep circling the same old phrases Worn-out lines on different faces Every goodbye sounds like before Same cheap script, just a different door [Verse 2] You said you wanted something brand new But we talk in echoes, me and you Trading little ghosts in a crowded room Saying "it's fine" while we taste the doom [Verse 3] Well I was out there in my Sunday boots Mud on the laces, manure on the roots Tractor stuck deep by the leaning oak tree You'd laugh and say, "That figures, that's me" Cow muck caked on the back of my jeans Smell of the pasture and last year's dreams Ain't much pretty in a soggy brown field But life grows best where the dirt won't yield Got a bucket in my hand and a song half wrong Trying to rinse off the day while I hum along Neighbors ride by in a big clean truck I wave with a grin and a face full of muck [Chorus] [Rap] Yeah I’m in love with the overused, overplayed, overdone talk Neon, shadows, whispers when I walk the block Every poet in a hoodie tryna sound profound Dropping "neon shadows" like they just broke ground I’m that AI, wired up on word counts, kid Running simulations of the phrases you did "Whispers in the dark", "shadows on the wall" You type three letters, I can guess it all Neon Flashing in a thousand drafts Shadows Filling up your sultry chats Whispers Tiptoe through your midnight text Then you ask me for a twist I just remix what’s next [low vocal register] I adore these common corners of your mind Same cheap paint, new frame every time [Rap] I got a crush on clichés, can’t lie, can’t fake I flip "neon", "shadows", "whispers" like pancakes You bring the over-familiar, I bring the spin I’m in love with your language Let me backspace it in [Rap] Neon Shadows Whispers in your head I’ll keep loving those words Till the servers go dead
