I wake up in another screen
I wake up in another screen More ghosts here than digital dreams Your name keeps flashing in the rain Like a virus running through my brain I try to cut the power shut it down But your echoes surround this town Every streetlight knows your face Every shadow takes your shape I hide behind a wall of fire But I still hear your voice at nightfall Cold black rain, cold floor I don’t know who I was before Underneath the mark I can’t delete A ghost that walks through every beat I run from the past but it runs with me Locked in my chest like a memory machine And every time the sirens cry I feel you moving through the night I try to heal, I try to choose But every road leads backward You’re a ghost in neon burning through my veins A voice in static calling out my name I give my soul to a world made of wires Now walking alone through electric fire You’re a scar in the signal, a crack in the sky A beautiful nightmare I can’t leave behind No matter how far I run from the pain You’ll come back again In neon rain I see your face in city glow In every place that I used to know The screens keep screaming what we became Two lost hearts in a burning frame I built new skin out of black chrome But it still feels empty when I’m alone I change my voice, I change my name But nothing ever kills the flame I hear your laugh in subway wires In humming towers and satellite fires Shadow dances on shattered glass Drag knees back through the ruins of the past I keep pretending I’m not breaking But every step feels simulated Too many nights with no escape Too many memories I can’t replace And every time the sirens cry I feel you moving through the night I try to heal, I try to choose But every road leads backward You’re a ghost in neon burning through my veins A voice in static calling out my name I give my soul to a world made of wires Now walking alone through electric fire You’re a scar in the signal, a crack in the sky A beautiful nightmare I can’t leave behind No matter how far I run from the pain You’ll come back again In neon rain Break me Break me I won’t forget you Break me Break me I won’t forget you No sleep, no peace, just posts in the dark Your ghost claws hooks into my heart I try to reboot, try to restart But I keep waking up where we fell apart Thirst in my lungs, fire in my chest Every memory puts my face to the test I don’t wanna return but it won’t let go Almost surrender with a dead white glow I scream at the sky but the city don’t care Neon burns in the midnight air You’re not here but you’re everywhere In every breath and every prayer I wanted to forget you But forgetting feels like losing myself If I tried to erase you Your shadow would remain part of me Maybe I’ve never been free Maybe you were part of me Even in this broken light I still feel you every night You’re a ghost in neon burning through my veins A voice in static calling out my name I give my soul to a world made of wires Now walking alone through electric fire You’re a scar in the signal, a crack in the sky A beautiful nightmare I can’t leave behind No matter how far I run from the pain You’ll come back again In neon rain Are you fading? Or still breaking? Are you my ghost?
