**Neon Junkyard** Credit to @Shiiro0 on Civitai for Artwork Model **[intro]** *Turn off your brain, turn on the view* *We built a city just for you* *Artificial, taste-approved* *Lay back, consume* *(Radio tuning… a warped voice whispers: “You are now entering the Neon Junkyard.”)* --- **[verse 1]** Half-price sunset, rent-a-moon glow Static in the pavement, concrete echoes Sky’s got a virus, flickers at noon Got a house made of pixels and a neon lagoon Soda pop billboard singing my name Echo in the alley sayin’ “we’re the same” Man on the TV, melting real slow He says, *“you ain't got nowhere else to go”* *(Distant robotic laughter, glitchy echoes.)* --- **[pre-chorus]** Got my feet on the floor but my head’s in the fog Satellite’s watchin’, says “move along” Dream don’t end, just loops all day City don’t breathe, but it wants you to stay *(Faint voice whispers: “No exit.”)* --- **[chorus]** It’s a Neon Junkyard, put your mind in park Turn the lights on, let the wires spark Program’s running, system’s fried But the ads keep smiling, “stay inside” Neon Junkyard, streets don’t bend No way out, just **press reset** Shadows flicker, hands don’t shake You can leave but you won’t **wake** --- **[verse 2]** *(Rap section - Murdoc or a guest rapper, paranoid and unhinged)* Phone in my hand, but the world ain't real Face in the mirror, stuck on the reel Man in the drain pipe hummin’ a tune Said the whole damn city's just a grave for the moon Plastic palm trees, glass-eye crows Billboard Jesus, designer clothes Drip-feed sugar in the audio stream All roads lead to the vending machine *(Glitch effect: “Transaction complete.”)* --- **[bridge]** *(eerie, detached, like an old PA announcement)* *Lay back, let it all unwind…* *Dream in color, it’s all designed…* *No more struggle, no more fight…* *Just close your eyes… enjoy the light…* *(Siren sounds, city hum intensifies.)* --- [outro] (half-mumbling, hypnotic, fading out like a transmission lost in space.) Head feels funny, time don’t move Sky flips backwards, streetlights bloom Static on the sidewalk, radio’s wrong Same song playin’ all day long Neon signs spell out my name Don’t remember playin’ the game Thought I left, thought I tried Guess I live here now, inside the sky **(Distant voice: “You are now exiting… the Neon Junkyard.”)** **(Sound of a tape rewinding… then silence.)**
