[Verse 1] They dressed us up in diamond skin Told us who to be, who to let in Mirrors lied, but we smiled back Built a throne from a fragile act Every promise signed in gold Every truth carefully sold But the cracks were glowing through In electric shades of blue [Pre-Chorus] We were sparks in borrowed names Playing gods inside a cage Now the night is calling loud Hear our hearts break through the crowd [Chorus] This is our neon genesis Born again in the afterglow We were almost anonymous Now we light up what we know From the ashes of the fake From the silence we escaped We don’t need your permission slip This is our neon genesis [Verse 2] Tried to clip our wings with rules Said rebellion wasn’t cute But we learned to bite the wire Turned the pressure into fire Painted lips, bruised halo Heaven’s just a stage show We don’t fit your holy frame We don’t play the same old game [Pre-Chorus] Every scar a coded truth Every lie we outgrew If we fall, we fall as one Watch us rise before you run [Chorus] This is our neon genesis Born again in the afterglow We were almost anonymous Now we light up what we know From the ashes of the fake From the silence we escaped We don’t need your permission slip This is our neon genesis [Bridge] Say we’re wrong Say we’re too much Say we’re nothing without your touch But we made gods out of broken parts Built our truth from open hearts [Bridge] If the world breaks when we’re seen Let it crack at the seams [Final Chorus] This is our neon genesis No disguise, no counterfeit We were born from the wreckage, yeah But we’re choosing who we are next From the fire, from the fear From the past we leave right here We don’t need your permission slip This is our neon genesis [Outro] No more ghosts in borrowed skin This is how we begin
