Neon Filament (versie 2)

Verse

Tape peels off the mirror in the corner

Six a.m. and the room still smells like summer

Bar is cold but my hands know the weight

Clock on the wall says this one's our last date

Chalk dust settling like snow on the floor

Same four songs through a busted door

I'm counting reps like they're minutes I get

Before this whole place turns to silhouette

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the current changing

Wires humming, rearranging

Something ending, something starting

This ain't breaking, this is parting

Chorus

I'm the neon filament, burning through the dark

One last flicker turning to a brand new spark

Say goodbye to the glow I knew

This is how the light breaks through

Neon filament, shining till I'm new

Verse

New address taped to the bottom of my key

Old crew's chalk handprints, I let them be

Streetlights blink orange down the block

Engine's warm, I'm resetting the clock

Every scar on my knuckles has a name

Every rep that I lost kept the flame

I'm not scared when the wire runs thin

It just means the next glow's about to begin

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the voltage rising

Nothing lost that isn't sizing

Something closing, something turning

This ain't cooling, this is burning

Chorus

I'm the neon filament, burning through the dark

One last flicker turning to a brand new spark

Say goodbye to the glow I knew

This is how the light breaks through

Neon filament, shining till I'm new

Bridge

No more counting what I'm losing

Every ending's mine for choosing

Watch the old sign finally go out

Feel the new one start to shout

Chorus

I'm the neon filament, burning through the dark

One last flicker turning to a brand new spark

Say goodbye to the glow I knew

This is how the light breaks through

Neon filament, shining till I'm new
