Eli Rhodes - Miami Lyrics

[Intro]
Stolen pills and stolen dreams
Miami nights ain't what they seem
Marcus's card in my right hand
Left my demons in the motherland

[Verse 1]
Newcastle gray turned Miami gold
Trap house profits, stories untold
Mama's voicemails pile up back home
While I'm sippin' lean, feeling so alone
Prescription bottles lined up like soldiers
Weight of guilt sits heavy on my shoulders
But f*ck it all, I needed this escape
Ocean Drive's my temporary fate

[Chorus]
Miami nights, beautiful poison
Neon lights keep my mind frozen
Running from myself, but I can't hide
These palm trees won't keep me alive
Miami nights, beautiful poison
Pop these pills and keep on floating
Paradise ain't what it seems
When you're living someone else's dreams

[Verse 2]
Club bathroom mirror shows a stranger's face
Heart racing fast, losing time and space
Marcus texted "come home, you're losing grip"
But I'm too far gone on this one-way trip
Designer fakes and fake designer friends
This fantasy's approaching its bitter end
Trading northern rain for southern heat
But my soul's still cold on these concrete streets

[Bridge]
The sunrise hits different when you're burning out
Paradise turns painful when you're full of doubt
Mama, I'm sorry, I'll be home soon
Just needed to chase this temporary moon

[Chorus]
Miami nights, beautiful poison
Neon lights keep my mind frozen
Running from myself, but I can't hide
These palm trees won't keep me alive
Miami nights, beautiful poison
Pop these pills and keep on floating
Paradise ain't what it seems
When you're living someone else's dreams

[Outro]
Back to Newcastle, back to gray
These Miami memories fade away
Beautiful poison in my veins
Some escapes just lead to chains
