Neon Tears & Velvet Skies
[Intro: Slow moody beat with vintage synthesizer and deep bass] [Verse 1: Female Vocal] Neon lights are bleeding through the rain Washing out the color of my pain Walking down this empty avenue Every shadow looks a bit like you The city breathes a heavy, tired sigh Underneath a velvet midnight sky [Verse 2: Male Vocal] Smoke is curling from a cigarette Trying hard to breathe and to forget I see your reflection in the glass Watching all these broken moments pass The sirens sing a lullaby of grief Offering a moment of relief [Pre-Chorus: Both] We were shining like a diamond in the dark Now we're just an ember, just a fading spark [Chorus: Both] Neon tears are falling from my eyes Painting constellations in the velvet skies We danced on the edge of a jagged knife Trading all our secrets for a hollow life Tell me that you miss the way we used to bleed Tell me I am still the only thing you need [Instrumental Interlude: Sweeping cinematic strings mixed with heavy synth bass] [Verse 3: Female Vocal] Lipstick stains upon a coffee cup Waiting for the sun to never come back up I trace the letters of your name in dust A monument to everything we lost [Male Vocal] The morning chill is creeping through the door But I don't want to feel it anymore [Pre-Chorus: Both] We were shining like a diamond in the dark Now we're just an ember, just a fading spark [Chorus: Both] Neon tears are falling from my eyes Painting constellations in the velvet skies We danced on the edge of a jagged knife Trading all our secrets for a hollow life Tell me that you miss the way we used to bleed Tell me I am still the only thing you need [Instrumental Solo: Somber electric guitar heavily drenched in reverb] [Bridge: Male Vocal] Take me back to the hotel room Where love was a flower in fatal bloom [Female Vocal] We knew it was toxic, we knew it was wrong But God, we felt like we belonged [Outro: Both] Neon tears... [Male Vocal]: Fading in the rain. [Female Vocal]: Wash away the pain. [Both]: Until we meet again. [Fading Outro: Slow heartbeat bass fading into silence] [End]
