Neon Don't Love Me

(long intro — instrumental heavy, distant bass, faint crowd noise, reverb like a memory underwater) (verse 1 — soft, almost too calm) neon on my skin like it knows my name flicker when I move but it stay the same I been in this room but I don’t feel claimed everybody close but it feel like space glass in my hand but it don’t go down I keep sipping slow just to stay around music too loud, I can’t hear the sound just the way my thoughts keep circling out (chorus — simple, direct, almost too honest) neon don’t love me it just makes me glow holds me in color won’t let me go neon don’t love me it don’t even try I look like I’m living I’m just passing by (verse 2 — slightly heavier, more aware) I seen my reflection in someone’s phone looked like a girl that I almost know smiling like she got somewhere to go but she don’t move when the lights go low you said “you good?” and I said “I’m fine” voice real smooth like a practiced line you didn’t ask and I didn’t mind we both played dumb at the perfect time (chorus — same, slightly fuller) neon don’t love me it just makes me glow holds me in color won’t let me go neon don’t love me it don’t even try I look like I’m living I’m just passing by (outro — fading, unresolved, instrumental swallowing the voice) I glow… that’s it I don’t— …stay
