Rock

[Intro – fuzzy guitar riff, steady snare roll] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – driving bassline, gritty rhythm guitar] Neon signs bleed into the rain I’m counting cracks in the city’s frame My boots scuff concrete where the ghosts all stay Another night I’m chasing yesterday [Pre-Chorus – building guitar layers, rising vocal intensity] The radio’s screaming a song I hate But it’s the only thing that keeps me awake I’m tired of living in someone else’s shade Tonight I’m gonna light my own parade [Chorus – full band blast, soaring vocals, crashing cymbals] I’m a neon burnout, burning bright Scars on my sleeves and fire in my eyes I don’t need your rules to make it right I’m gonna burn until the dawn’s first light [Verse 2 – slightly muted guitar, tight drum groove] I found a photo in a broken drawer A smile that died when the walls hit the floor I drank the last of the cheap whiskey pour And slammed the door on the life I abhor [Pre-Chorus – louder guitar, more urgent vocals] The clock’s ticking down to a midnight end But I’m not gonna let the dark win again I’m gonna scream until my voice gives in Tonight I’m gonna break the chain I’m in [Chorus – amplified band, layered backing vocals, crashing drums] I’m a neon burnout, burning bright Scars on my sleeves and fire in my eyes I don’t need your rules to make it right I’m gonna burn until the dawn’s first light [Solo – blistering distorted guitar, wah-wah effects, driving rhythm section] (Instrumental Solo) [Bridge – stripped-back acoustic guitar, raw vulnerable vocals] I know I’m messy, I know I’m loud I know I’m not the one you’re proud of But this fire in me’s not burning out I’m gonna stand my ground, no more doubt [Final Chorus – full band with orchestral swells, maximum intensity] I’m a neon burnout, burning bright Scars on my sleeves and fire in my eyes I don’t need your rules to make it right I’m gonna burn until the dawn’s first light This is my fight, this is my time I’m gonna shine until the end of the line [Outro – fading guitar feedback, soft snare tap] Neon fades into the gray But my fire’s here to stay
