neon dreams
not what it seems
inside a night shelter
lines of snow
dropping low
on the helter skelter
run about
down and out
life beyond the rainbow
know your name
feel the shame
dance on a volcano
neon lights
high as kites
giggling in the rain
doorman stare
you don’t care
laugh at his disdain
ten past three
bad company
run from the Old Bill
all alone
lost smartphone
crawling up that hill
moving on
once upon
another form to fill
hope is gone
can't go on
every pill and thrill
late at night
broken light
listening to the screams
mentally broke
ain’t no joke
shattered neon dreams
