Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G]Staring at the ceiling in the [Am]middle of the night,
[C]Trapped in a maze of my [G]neon nightmares.
[D]Lost in the shadows and [Em]searching for light,
[C]Painting my fears with [D]colours so bright.
(Chorus)
[G]Neon Nightmares, [Am]lighting up my mind,
[C]Chasing the darkness, [G]leaving me behind.
[D]Neon Nightmares, [Em]drawing me near,
[C]I find myself [D]drowning in fear.
(Verse 2)
[G]Wandering the streets as the [Am]city sleeps tight,
[C]Echoes of silence in [G]neon nightmares.
[D]Street lamps flickering, [Em]casting eerie light,
[C]An empty canvas for my [D]thoughts to write.
(Chorus)
[G]Neon Nightmares, [Am]haunting my dreams,
[C]Reflecting my thoughts, [G]in twisted beams.
[D]Neon Nightmares, [Em]a spectral sight,
[C]Bathing my fears [D]in fluorescent light.
