Neon and Claws

[Verse 1] Fourteen days of fire just to break the mold, Traded in the quiet for a soul so bold. Left the old skin shivering on the bedroom floor, Woke up with a hunger that I can't ignore. Heavy steps ringing on the concrete street, A brand new rhythm for a brand new heartbeat. Got electric pink cutting through the midnight air, Breathing in the ozone, nothing left to spare. [Pre-Chorus] [Building, grinding rhythm] They stare from the shadows when we walk the line. They want the danger, but they can't read the signs. [Chorus] [Huge, wide-open arena sound with gang vocals] We are the neon! We are the claws! Tearing down the cages, rewriting the laws! Welcome to the underground, leave your halo at the door! We're the beautiful freaks that you're begging for! (Yeah!) [Verse 2] [Cocky, snarling delivery] Tourists in the alley with their hungry eyes, Looking for a thrill in a cheap disguise. Want a taste of the wild just to play a game, But you can't buy the fire, and we'll never be tame. From the basement rings to the flashing lights, We're taking back the mirrors, taking back the nights. There's a code in the dark that you gotta understand: If you're afraid of the teeth, don't offer the hand! [Pre-Chorus] [Drums intensifying, hi-hat riding fast] They stare from the shadows when we walk the line. They want the danger, but they can't read the signs. [Chorus] [Maximum Volume] We are the neon! We are the claws! Tearing down the cages, rewriting the laws! Welcome to the underground, leave your halo at the door! We're the beautiful freaks that you're begging for! [Bridge] [Half-time heavy groove. The crowd stomping in unison] Breathe it in! (Breathe it in!) Let the rhythm take control! Shed it off! (Shed it off!) Let the heavy bass roll! We are the storm, we are the flood, Electric static pumping in our blood! [Guitar Solo] [Fast, shredding, dive-bombs that sound like a howling animal] [Chorus] We are the neon! We are the claws! Tearing down the cages, rewriting the laws! Welcome to the underground, leave your halo at the door! We're the beautiful freaks that you're begging for! [Outro] [Frantic, double-time punk beat] Get wild! (Get wild!) Show your teeth! Get wild! (Get wild!) What's underneath! [Heavy Guitar Chug] [Feedback Screech] [End]
