Neon Forever, Final Breath

Seventeen, I thought I had the map, thought I found a lane

He smiled in neon nights, said "forever" like a chain But truth leaked

through a text, best friend's name on the screen I drove the truth to mama's

hands, heart heavy with the scene We were laughing and we weren't,

life turned in a flash White lines of scream, the world folded

up like ash Her hands were warm and small, held mine and then she slipped

I begged the night to give her back, but the light just clipped

I held her like a secret, felt the final breath The rear view
