Lyrics
[verse]
New car, new chain, but the same old ghost inside
Used to sleep on floors, now the floors are marble-wide
Traded all my quiet for a name in flashing light
Now I'm running this whole city every single night
[verse]
They said I'd never make it out the block I'm from
Now they call my number, now they want to be my son
I don't need your blessing, I don't need your praise
Just watch me burn it brighter than the old days
[chorus]
I'm the star tonight, star tonight, star tonight
Rolling through the dark with my own kind of light
Used to be nobody, now they know my name
I'm the star tonight, star tonight, same old flame
[verse]
Money on the table but the table's always cold
Every version of me getting harder to hold
I don't trust the mirror, don't trust the crowd
Only trust the bassline thumping loud
[chorus]
I'm the star tonight, star tonight, star tonight
Rolling through the dark with my own kind of light
Used to be nobody, now they know my name
I'm the star tonight, star tonight, same old flame
[bridge]
Somewhere down below me is the kid who had nothing
Somewhere in this glow is a heart still running
I built a throne of neon, I built it all alone
Star tonight, but nobody's home
[chorus]
I'm the star tonight, star tonight, star tonight
Rolling through the dark with my own kind of light
Used to be nobody, now they know my name
I'm the star tonight, star tonight, same old flame
