we are neon.
we wear it on our hair,
on our eyelids
and on our clothes.
at night,
we are nobody's sons
and nobody's daughters.
we lure in
moths
that see us like specks of light
in their own subconscious darkness.
we are alive,
but the sun still rises up
if we die.
we are neon.
beautiful and wanted,
young and noble,
our bodies shine in
yellow, green and blue,
but our wounds are red.

we are neon.
we wear it on our hair,
on our eyelids
and on our clothes.
at night,
we are nobody's sons
and nobody's daughters.
we lure in
moths
that see us like specks of light
in their own subconscious darkness.
we are alive,
but the sun still rises up
if we die.
we are neon.
beautiful and wanted,
young and noble,
our bodies shine in
yellow, green and blue,
but our wounds are red.
about what has been going on lately. lately and forever.
