The Neon Shift

[Chorus] Fluorescent hum and asphalt rain Another night, the same old pain Coffee drips, a final sigh Beneath the lonely neon sky [Verse] Four AM, the world's asleep Secrets that the shadows keep Counting change, the crumpled bills Another shift, the silence fills Cold pizza spins in microwave's glow A steady, slow, hypnotic show [Pre-Chorus] Radio whispers, static hums Tales of futures, past is numb Rearview mirror, shades of gray My own reflection fades away [Chorus] Fluorescent hum and asphalt rain Another night, the same old pain Coffee drips, a final sigh Beneath the lonely neon sky [Bridge] Scratching counter, worn and bare Just the ghost of someone there A stray cat rubs a lamppost leg Another promise I won't beg [Verse] The pump's soft tick, a final sound No grand escape can here be found My hands are raw from lack of sleep Promises I couldn't keep Flipping tickets, past their date Sealing my own weary fate [Chorus] Fluorescent hum and asphalt rain Another night, the same old pain Coffee drips, a final sigh Beneath the lonely neon sky [Outro] And the night won't let me go
