Neon Handout
A moody electronic rock track inspired by 'doing all your drugs for free,' featuring pulsing bass, drum machines, warped synth pads, and sharp electric guitar riffs. Sleazy, cinematic, and dangerously euphoric.
Lyrics
[Verse]
The velvet curtains swallow up the glare
A jagged halo hangs within the air
The silver spoon is polished to a shine
You pour the poison like it was the vine
I see the shadows dancing on your skin
The heavy doors are locking us within
You offer up a kingdom built on dust
A hollow vessel fueled by frantic lust
[Verse]
The radiator hums a low refrain
A symphony of chemicals and rain
You hold the vial like a sacred prize
The fractured sunlight hits your vacant eyes
We tumble down the rabbit hole again
Beyond the reach of ordinary men
The floorboards ripple like a steady tide
Nowhere for the weary soul to hide
[Chorus]
Take the bitter nectar from your palm
A frantic storm within a sudden calm
Your heavy fortune buys a gilded cage
The final sentence on a burning page
I am drowning in the sweetness of the fall
Watching shadows lean against the wall
The white heat rushes through the frozen veins
Washing out the traces of the stains
[Chorus]
Take the bitter nectar from your palm
A frantic storm within a sudden calm
Your heavy fortune buys a gilded cage
The final sentence on a burning page
I am drowning in the sweetness of the fall
Watching shadows lean against the wall
The white heat rushes through the frozen veins
Washing out the traces of the stains
[Bridge]
The ceiling turns into a marble sky
The ground is distant as the hours fly
No toll is taken at the iron gate
We gamble with the gravity of fate
A lawless fever grips the cooling blood
The garden withers in the golden flood
The silence is a weapon in your hand
The finest treasure in a broken land
[Verse]
The chandelier is swinging out of time
A slow descent into a perfect crime
You give it all away without a cost
A heavy winner with a soul long lost
The air is thick enough to hold our weight
A velvet trap outside the garden gate
The world is spinning in a hazy blur
A whispered promise for the way we were
[Verse]
Your laughter sounds like glass upon the floor
A phantom knocking at the heavy door
The chemicals are singing in the bone
A kingdom that we govern all alone
The morning is a rumor far away
A debt that neither one of us can pay
The static rises as the vision fades
In the balance of the sharpening blades
[Chorus]
Take the bitter nectar from your palm
A frantic storm within a sudden calm
Your heavy fortune buys a gilded cage
The final sentence on a burning page
I am drowning in the sweetness of the fall
Watching shadows lean against the wall
The white heat rushes through the frozen veins
Washing out the traces of the stains
[Chorus]
Take the bitter nectar from your palm
A frantic storm within a sudden calm
Your heavy fortune buys a gilded cage
The final sentence on a burning page
I am drowning in the sweetness of the fall
Watching shadows lean against the wall
The white heat rushes through the frozen veins
Washing out the traces of the stains
