We are still turning from the gilded ride
Heat in the wrist where the stamp won’t dry
The floor starts flashing beneath our shoes
And every old rule comes loose in blue
No more permits in the pulse-lit crowd
We move too close, we burn too loud
The gate, the coin, the horse, the gold
All turn electric under our clothes
Neon in the blood
Neon in the blood
We don’t stop the burn
Till the morning floods
The light got in
Now the light is us
We don’t dim down
We don’t button up
We spill our names in the flashing line
No one can tell where yours meets mine
The ceiling blinks like a warning sign
But we read danger as a kind of shine
Fear puts a hand on the back of our neck
Says slow down now, says not like this
But the night has teeth and a sugar grin
And we have opened too far to quit
Neon in the blood
Neon in the blood
We don’t stop the burn
Till the morning floods
The light got in
Now the light is us
We don’t dim down
We don’t button up
Light
In
Hands
Hot
Pulse
Split
Stop
Not
If we go too bright
Let the mirrors pay
If we burn too fast
Let the dawn look away
We were built for caution
Stitched and taught to stay
Now the color has a fever
And it wants our shape
Neon in the blood
Neon in the blood
We don’t stop the burn
Till the morning floods
The light got in
Now the light is us
We don’t dim down
We don’t button up
The light got in
Now the light is us
If the dawn comes down
Let it find us lit up
We leave the floor with the color under skin
Too bright to hide
Too awake to recover
