[Intro] [Verse 1] I’m the patron saint of the almost-was A low-rent tragic with a chemical buzz You’re the highlighter ink on a suicide note The anchor tied tight to the luckiest boat I’m trading my secrets for a seat on the floor Collecting the keys but I’m burning the door And I’ve got a mouth like a loaded gun But I’m shooting at the moon just to feel the sun [Pre-Chorus] [Guitar shifts to soaring, melodic lead] [Driving synth undertone] But the city lights don’t lie like you do And the static in the air is turning us blue It’s a long way down from the pedestals we built In a dress made of glass and a crown made of guilt [Chorus] [Big, anthemic arena-rock energy] [Soaring vocals] Oh, we’re dancing in the wreck of a neon autopsy Writing our names in the dust of the galaxy Give me a reason to stay or a rhythm to break I’m a masterpiece of every mistake! Yeah, we’re burning out bright in the hollow of the night Underneath the weight of the flickering lights! [Verse 2] [Palm-muted driving guitar] [Snappy, rhythmic vocal delivery] I’m a semicolon in a sentence that’s dead Living on the scraps of the things that you said You’re a vintage disaster in a brand new frame A beautiful face with a localized name And we’re just a footnote in a tragedy book Catching all the grief with a silver-plated hook [Bridge] [Music drops to a lonely, shimmering guitar melody] [Emotional, building vocal] Maybe we’re just ghosts in the engine Maybe we’re just noise in the hall But if this is the end of the tension I’m ready to fall... [Drum roll build-up] I’M READY TO FALL! [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Oh, we’re dancing in the wreck of a neon autopsy Writing our names in the dust of the galaxy Give me a reason to stay or a rhythm to break I’m a masterpiece of every mistake! Yeah, we’re burning out bright in the hollow of the night Underneath the weight of the flickering lights! [Outro] Just a masterpiece of every mistake. [Yeah, we're just mistakes!] Under the flickering lights. [End]
