Neon Dreams Lyrics

The city lights are shining, but they don't feel right

Chasing shadows through the streets of the night

High-rise towers, but I'm lost on the ground

I thought I'd make it here, but I'm still not found

I see my reflection in the glass

But there's a face I don't recognize staring back

These neon dreams, they flicker and fade

They promised me gold, but it's all just a masquerade

Running so fast, I forgot what I need

In a city of glass, I'm still chasing my lead

Neon dreams, they burn in my mind

But they don't shine as bright when I'm standing behind

I hear the hum of the crowd, but I'm still alone

Surrounded by faces, but none I've ever known

I thought success was waiting at the end of the street

But all I found was the dust beneath my feet

They tell you to climb, don't stop the race

But when you get there, there's an empty space

These neon dreams, they flicker and fade

They promised me gold, but it's all just a masquerade

Running so fast, I forgot what I need

In a city of glass, I'm still chasing my lead

Neon dreams, they burn in my mind

But they don't shine as bright when I'm standing behind

Every sign said this was the way

But they don't warn you that you might lose your way

The lights are brighter, but they cast long shadows

I'm left standing in the afterglow

Neon dreams, they flicker and fade

They promised me gold, but it's all just a masquerade

Running so fast, I forgot what I need

In a city of glass, I'm still chasing my lead

Neon dreams, they burn in my mind

But they don't shine as bright when I'm standing behind

I'm still chasing these neon dreams

But sometimes they're not what they seem.
