Neon Noir (The Client I Lost)

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain hits the hood of the car
Looking for a distant star
Neon red across the glass
Watching all the shadows pass
Cigarette smoke in the air
She is no longer there
[Pre-Chorus]
Drum machine counts the time
Trying to find a rhyme
The tape hiss hides the truth
I wasted all my youth
[Chorus]
Oh, the neon is burning blue
Still searching for a trace of you
Lost the file and lost the lead
Everything I didn't need
In the D-minor night
Fading out of sight
[Post-Chorus]
Lost in the glow
Nowhere to go
Just a ghost in the machine
The saddest thing I've seen
[Verse]
Half-burned notes on the floor
I don't know what for
The bass starts to swell
Like a lonely chapel bell
Sawtooth leads cut the dark
Waiting for a spark
Wipers moving slow
Nowhere left to go
The city is a tomb
In this velvet room
[Pre-Chorus]
Drum machine counts the time
Trying to find a rhyme
The tape hiss hides the truth
I wasted all my youth
[Chorus]
Oh, the neon is burning blue
Still searching for a trace of you
Lost the file and lost the lead
Everything I didn't need
In the D-minor night
Fading out of sight
[Breakdown]
Static on the radio dial
Missing her for a while
The case is closed today
Everything turned to gray
Just a name on a page
Locked inside this cage
[Bridge]
Analog dreams in a digital world
Watching the mystery get unfurled
But the ending is cold
A story never told
Clean guitar in the rain
Washing away the pain
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, the neon is burning blue
Still searching for a trace of you
Lost the file and lost the lead
Everything I didn't need
In the D-minor night
Fading out of sight
[Outro]
