Midnight burns… in neon light, Whiskey runs… me through the night… Midnight on the boulevard, pavement soaked in rain, Neon bleeds in colors I can’t explain. Footsteps echo like a ghost I used to be, Every shadow here’s got history… Every window hides a life I’ll never touch, I don’t need it… I’ve been gone too much… Lonely, wide awake in neon light, Drownin’ in the silence of the night, Fadin’ like a spark before it dies, Sleepless in the city… I survive… Glass half empty, burnin’ down my throat, Every sip just keeps me barely floatin’… Taxi lights blur like a broken dream, Nothin’s ever quite the way it seems… [City’s hummin’… low and mean, Like a song I’ve never been… No savin’ grace… no alibi, Just one more night… just passin’ by… Lonely, wide awake in neon light, Tryin’ not to lose myself tonight, Even if I fade out of sight, Sleepless in the city… I survive… Midnight burns… Whiskey runs… I’m still here…
