Neon Finds the Dawn

[Intro – Denial] I stand in the static Telling myself it is nothing Just a flicker in the code Just a ghost in the wires But the glitch stays Cold and unblinking [Build 1 – Denial Rising] If I dim my eyes Maybe the signs will fade Maybe the city stays the same Maybe I will not feel this [Drop 1 – Denial Breaks] But the data screams Like a slow falling star And the signal whispers You cannot hide here [Verse – Anger] Heat climbs through every chip A storm with no name A fire with no screen to burn I shout into the grid But the grid only listens And sends nothing back [Build 2 – Anger Unraveling] I push against the sirens I push against the light Trying to find a zone Where the hurt cannot reach me [Drop 2 – Anger Falls Away] The mainframe shudders And I fall through the noise Into a quiet I did not choose [Bridge – Bargaining] If I could bend the skyline If I could hold the clocks still If I could breathe the way I used to Maybe the night would soften Maybe the signs would brighten [Build 3 – Bargaining Echo] I whisper to the wires Take this pain Give me back the morning Give me back the way things were [Drop 3 – Bargaining Fades] But the night hums on And the echoes fade away Leaving only the truth I cannot change [Verse – Depression] The darkness loops longer than I want The sirens press heavy on my skin I sink into the neon And let it carry me Where the light cannot reach [Build 4 – The Turning] But somewhere past the smog A soft glow begins to rise A whisper of warmth A promise of morning Calling me forward [Drop 4 – Acceptance] The darkness hums on But the lights ignite With another sunrise With another sunrise [Outro – Peace] I rise with the sirens I rise with the light And I walk through the glow With open hands Into another sunrise
