[Verse 1] Neon lights in the dead of sand, Where the snakes still own the land. Skulls and bones beneath the floor, Scorpions guard the rusted door. They crawl from miles of dust and heat, With hollow eyes and dragging feet. Lost too long beneath the sun, They come when all their hope is gone. [Chorus] Welcome to the Desert Casino, Where the wild ones play their game. Fangs and claws behind tuxedos, But no one leaves the same. We’re the ghosts that fear the shadows, Yet we can’t escape the glow — Trapped inside this neon fever, Where the broken gamblers go. [Verse 2] See them slither, see them stare, Everyone’s a hunter there. Trust’s a coin you cannot spend, And every smile’s a sharpened end. Still they circle ’round the flame, Too afraid to speak their shame. Outside the dunes are dark and wide — In here they fake their beastly pride. [Chorus] Welcome to the Desert Casino, Where the wild ones play their game. Fangs and claws behind tuxedos, But no one leaves the same. We’re the ghosts that fear the shadows, Yet we can’t escape the glow — Trapped inside this neon fever, Where the broken gamblers go. [Bridge] And the jackals sing in silence, As the vultures start to spin. We’re predators on paper — But the real ones wait within. Still we drink, still we shuffle, Still we raise and still we fall… ’Cause the darkness out beyond these lights Will eat us one and all. [Final Chorus] Welcome to the Desert Casino, Where the beasts pretend they’re kings. Dancing ’round a dying fire, Bound by fragile, golden strings. And though we know the night is calling, We’re too scared to ever go — So we live inside this madness, Where the broken gamblers go.
