Midnight Neon Graveyard

I hit the road when the moon went thin

Neon bruises on my windshield skin

The graveyard gates open like a grin

And the night says, come on in

Headlights crawl through the crooked stone

Names in the dark where the cracks still tone

Every mile feels less alone

When the cold wind sinks through the bone

I drive to the graveyard at midnight

With the dead lit up in the dashboard light

I'm not here to run, I'm here to fight

'Til I make peace with the beast inside

Yeah, I make peace with the beast inside, yeah

I make peace with the beast inside

There's a wolf in the mirror, a scream in my chest

I sang on the radio, a knife in my wrist

I learned every scar was a kind of test

And every fear had a pulse in its guest

So I talked to the monster slow and low

Said, I know your hunger, I know your glow

If you stay in line, I'll let you go

If you keep me alive

Go drive through the graveyard every night

With the dead lit up and the dashboard light

I'm not here to run, I'm here to fight

'Til I make peace with the beast inside

Yeah, I make peace with the beast inside

Peace with the beast inside

Let the thunder roll, let the sirens moan

I've been haunted long enough to call it home

If the dark wants a king, it can take my throne

But it won't take my will, it won't take my soul

I drive through the graveyard at midnight

With the dead lit up and the dashboard light

I'm not here to run, I'm here to fight

'Til I make peace with a decent sign

Yeah, I make peace with a decent sign, yeah

I make peace with a decent sign
