Neon Ledge

[Intro] Neon wounds glow on the skin of the night A heartbeat drums like sirens in flight [Verse 1] I wear a storm in my chest, a furnace bright Skyscrapers loom, but I sharpen my bite Rain-slash reflections carved in chrome and sorrow I rise from shadows, fearless of tomorrow [Pre-Chorus] The city roars, I answer with a roar inside No velvet chains, steel will, I self-provide [Chorus] I won’t bow, I’ll blaze through the dark Turning grit into light, I’m striking sparks Back from the edge where angels fear to tread I’m alive in the neon, marching on the ledge [Verse 2] Barricades of doubt crumble under my feet I spit defiance in the gutter, feel the heat Grind of gears, heartbeat like a drum in the night I own this street, I am the counterlight [Pre-Chorus] Cracks in the mask reveal the iron core I roar again, I won’t ask for more [Chorus] I won’t bow, I’ll blaze through the dark Turning grit into light, I’m striking sparks Back from the edge where angels fear to tread I’m alive in the neon, marching on the ledge [Bridge] Break the glass, let the moonlight bite Storm in my lungs, I inhale the fight No surrender, no retreat, no calm cease I redefine the dawn with a thunderous release [Chorus] I won’t bow, I’ll blaze through the dark Turning grit into light, I’m striking sparks Back from the edge where angels fear to tread I’m alive in the neon, marching on the ledge [Outro] Neon wounds fade to a brighter claim Resilient heart, forever stoked like flame
