Neon Fridge Hum

[Hook] Three AM, the city sleeps, but I'm awake Underneath the neon glow, for goodness sake Just the hum of the fridge, a silent, steady beat Counting coins and lost dreams on this lonely street [Verse] Uniform is faded, worn and thin Staring at the soda lights, where do I begin? Bubbles rise like wishes, in the cold glass case Another night unfolds in this forgotten place [Pre-Chorus] Outside the window, shadows start to sway A drunkard stumbles, kicks a bin and walks away The automatic doors sigh, breaking through the rain Each opening a whisper, echoing my pain [Chorus] There's a tooth mark on my finger, a memory of a bite A single beer is missing, vanished in the night My hair falls on the counter, as I count the change so slow I'm the only light still burning, the only one who knows [Verse] The shelves are stocked with futures, I can't afford to buy Just the scent of instant noodles, beneath a tired sky Each transaction a small flicker, a moment I'm alive Before the dawn creeps closer, and the quiet starts to thrive [Pre-Chorus] I trace the condensation, on the glass of lukewarm tea Wondering if anyone, will ever truly see Beyond the uniform and the smile I have to fake This fragile, hidden person, for goodness gracious sake [Chorus] There's a tooth mark on my finger, a memory of a bite A single beer is missing, vanished in the night My hair falls on the counter, as I count the change so slow I'm the only light still burning, the only one who knows [Bridge] This fluorescent heaven, a temporary stage Turning pages of my life, on a silent, empty page Each clink of metal echoes, a story left untold A universe contained within, this checkout counter cold [Chorus] There's a tooth mark on my finger, a memory of a bite A single beer is missing, vanished in the night My hair falls on the counter, as I count the change so slow I'm the only light still burning, the only one who knows [Outro]
