Neon bleeds a honeyed gold across the floor
Hard soles bite the varnish scratching through the door
Tobacco smoke hangs heavy like a velvet shroud
Cheap perfume cuts sharp through the restless crowd
Leather cracks the rhythm climbs a jagged stair
Splinters of the beat ignite the midnight air
A mirror catches shadows faces blur and bend
While every polished step begins to tear the end
We trade the daylight for a fractured glass
Where every echo asks us what we lack
The city hums a low and restless tune
Beneath the frantic spin we lose the moon
(we lose the moon)
Strike the floor and catch the neon light
Break the heavy quiet step into the night
(step into the night)
Spin the hollow hours let the timber cry
Leave the heavy world behind us as we fly
(as we fly)
We trade the daylight for a fractured glass
Where every echo asks us what we lack
The city hums a low and restless tune
Beneath the frantic spin we lose the moon
(we lose the moon)
Strike the floor and catch the neon light
Break the heavy quiet step into the night
(step into the night)
Spin the hollow hours let the timber cry
Leave the heavy world behind us as we fly
(as we fly)
The sirens sleep but restless pulses wake
We carve our hollow days in bright display
A spinning top that cannot find its place
While neon burns the edges of the face
Tear down the velvet let the timber split
We throw our heavy shadows into it
(into it)
Strike the floor and catch the neon light
Break the heavy quiet step into the night
(step into the night)
Spin the hollow hours let the timber cry
Leave the heavy world behind us as we fly
(as we fly)
One last strike against the fading floor
The echo walks out through the heavy door
Just leather whispers on a cooling stage
While neon dims upon an empty page
(dims away)
