Neon Dust

[Verse 1] They told me, “Don’t get caught in the code,” In a city where the sky never glows. Neon gods whisper from the chrome, But I swore I’d never lose control. I laughed at the kids with wires in their veins, Glitching out, chasing digital rain. Said I’d never need that high Just keep my circuits dry. [Pre-Chorus] But the nights got long, and the bass got deep, And the world outside couldn’t help me sleep. Someone passed me a vial, said, “Taste the sky,” I closed my eyes, let the firewall die. [Chorus] Now I’m burning through the neon dust, Selling pieces of my soul for trust. What was thrill became a chain, Now I’m riding on electric pain. No return, no God, no light Just shadows dancing through the night. I was strong, now I’m just rust, A ghost addicted to neon dust. [Verse 2] Started small, just a pixel hit, Colors sharper, thoughts legit. Felt alive, like I could breathe, Floating over the data beneath. But soon the buzz just wouldn't stay, Had to hack in deeper every day. Red Line, Mind Crack, Overdrive Just to feel a little bit alive. [Pre-Chorus] Friends went quiet, turned to code, Bodies crashed in the overflow. But I was chasing the divine, Every hit rewrote my spine. [Chorus] Now I’m burning through the neon dust, Selling pieces of my soul for trust. What was thrill became a chain, Now I’m riding on electric pain. No return, no God, no light Just shadows dancing through the night. I was strong, now I’m just rust, A ghost addicted to neon dust. [Bridge] Can’t tell if it's day or simulation, Trapped in loops of self-degradation. Tried to jack out, pulled the plug But the silence hit harder than the drug. [Outro] In the end, I became the void, Another glitch they can't avoid. Don’t cry, don’t trust, don’t dream Just another user lost in the machine. ------------------------------------------- Original lyrics by Phyx © Copyright 2025 - @Phyx -------------------------------------------
