The Neon Vigil

[Intro]
[Verse]
The wick is trimmed, the light is clear
I’ve lived a dozen lives out here
There is no room for ghost or fear
The stars are drawing very near
My hands are cold against the stone
But I have never felt alone
A rhythmic hum within the bone
A frequency I’ve always known
[Pre-Chorus]
Solar winds dance in the black
There is no reason to go back
The sky begins to glow and crack
I’m following the silver track
Emerald veils across the moon
I hear the universal tune
It’s coming for me very soon
Inside this crystalline cocoon
[Build-up]
Watch the pulse rise
In my own eyes
Through the dark skies
Take the grand prize
[Drop]
(Airy wordless humming)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Mmm, mmm, mmm
(Vocal swells in reverb)
Ah, ah, ah
[Post-Chorus]
Glow in the deep
While the world is asleep
Promises that I keep
Into the light I leap
[Verse]
Below the cliff the water burns
Where bioluminescent turns
My weary heart no longer yearns
The ancient sea, it never learns
Electric blue against the grey
The salt will wash the past away
I do not need the light of day
I only want to drift and stay
[Pre-Chorus]
Solar winds dance in the black
There is no reason to go back
The sky begins to glow and crack
I’m following the silver track
Emerald veils across the moon
I hear the universal tune
It’s coming for me very soon
Inside this crystalline cocoon
[Build-up]
Watch the pulse rise
In my own eyes
Through the dark skies
Take the grand prize
[Drop]
(Airy wordless humming)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Mmm, mmm, mmm
(Vocal swells in reverb)
Ah, ah, ah
[Bridge]
I am the keeper of the flame
Without a face, without a name
The galaxy is just a frame
And I have won the quiet game
I’m weightless in the heavy air
With stardust tangled in my hair
I find a peace beyond compare
A secret that I’ll never share
[Chorus]
(Transcendental humming and vocalizations)
Ah, ah, ah
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(Floating above the analog arpeggio)
Ah, ah, ah
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(Fading into the cosmic pads)
Ah, ah, ah
[Outro]
