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
