FYODOROFF Neon River: Where the Lights Drift

The city breathes in steel and smoke
A million lungs with nowhere to go
I watch the headlights race below
A current pulling fast and slow
No faces in the passing cars
Just empty shells and dying stars

Down the neon river
Where the lost souls flow
Down the neon river
No one wants to know
Just the rain and the rhythm
And the ghost-light glow
Neon river
Neon river

The traffic lights blink green to red
A pulse for all the living dead
My breath fogs up the window glass
I watch the moments drift and pass
No destination, no return
Just lessons that we never learn

Down the neon river
Where the lost souls flow
Down the neon river
No one wants to know
Just the rain and the rhythm
And the ghost-light glow
Neon river
Neon river

I saw a face in the window light
A second's glimpse, then out of sight
I wonder where they're trying to go
Or if they're like me - just putting on a show
We're all just floating on the tide
With nowhere left to run and hide

Down the neon river
Let the cold wind blow
Down the neon river
Watch the headlights glow
I'm just a shadow in the stream
A broken note in an endless dream
Neon river
Neon river
Take me home

Neon river
Neon river
…home …home
