Neon blurs, my soul's escape
Laughter mingled with despair
Echoes of a life on hold
Glittered tears in plastic cups
The DJ spins a lie we love,
And in this chaos, I find peace.

Bodies sway in fractured harmony
Shadows dance where light won't reach
Every beat a heartbeat lost
Yet found in rhythm's fleeting grasp
Confetti falls, a masquerade
Of joy that masks the hollow ache.

We scream the songs...
