neon hymn
written by grant michaelson & evan young
underneath the neon signs, where the city forgets to sleep, i saw you bleeding brilliance— a wildfire in the deep. you looked like every heartbreak i never learned to keep, but you smiled like survival and dragged me from the deep.
through the rain and through the wreck, when the silence feels like shame, i hear you whisper truth in the static of my name.
you're my shelter in the sirens, my chaos turned to light, you're the hymn inside the riot, singin’ “love me through the night.” when the city burns behind us, and the past begins to rise— you’re my altar, you’re my faith, the neon hymn that guides.
you laugh like thunder cracking in a church that’s lost its choir, kiss me like confession wrapped in gasoline and fire. you said, “i’m not holy, baby— just stubborn enough to stay.” and fuck if that ain’t gospel when the world fades away.
through the rain and through the wreck, when the silence feels like shame, i hear you whisper truth in the static of my name.
you're my shelter in the sirens, my chaos turned to light, you're the hymn inside the riot, singin’ “love me through the night.” when the city burns behind us, and the past begins to rise— you’re my altar, you’re my faith, the neon hymn that guides.
we don't need redemption, we just need the dark to hum. you bring your haunted, i’ll bring my undone. if this is blasphemy, then let’s be wrong in style— our love ain’t clean, but it walks the aisle.
you’re my shelter in the sirens, my truth beneath the lies, you’re the hymn that keeps me standing when the saints all say goodbye. let the city fall behind us— let the sinners all decide— you’re my altar, you’re my flame, the neon hymn that guides.
