🎶 NEON VEINS (RIVERS UNDER RIVERS) 🌃💉

They caught me glowing and they told me to fade 🌈

Put out your colors and just march the parade 🏴

These days my heartbeat feels looped on repeat 🔄

But past the static something ancient still beats 🫀

‘Cause through the grids the city veins run 🏙️

They pulse in my wrists saying “child, you’re not done” 💉

Sometimes I wonder if the map’s drawn so tight 🗺️

That we can never slip from its grip 🔗

Living in the veins 💉

Silent highways coil like rivers under rivers 🌊

And there’s no dawn in sight 🌑

I need the darkness, someone kill these lights 🔦

We climbed the tower with our hearts in our throat 🗼

Lay on warm concrete and watched the sky bloat 🌫️

Turned from the searchlights that swept our names clean 🔦

We ran for the cover we couldn’t explain 🏃

And like a mirror those same city veins 🪞

Were screaming back “you were born for the chain” ⛓️

Sometimes I wonder if the map’s drawn so tight 🗺️

That we can never slip from its grip 🔗

Living in the veins 💉

Silent highways coil like rivers under rivers 🌊

And there’s no dawn in sight 🌑

I need the darkness, someone kill these lights 🔦

They caught me glowing and they told me to fade 🌈

Put out your colors and just march the parade 🏴

Sometimes I wonder if the map’s drawn so tight 🗺️

Can we ever slip from its grip? 🔗

Living in the veins 💉

Silent highways coil like rivers under rivers 🌊

And there’s no dawn in sight 🌑

I need the darkness, someone kill these lights 🔦

I need the darkness… 🌑

Someone kill these lights… 🔦
