(Verse 1)
Chandeliers drip diamonds on a crimson floor
Champagne ghosts begging me for more
Lace on my skin like a loaded gun
Midnight strikes — let the waltz be done
Perfume thick as a crime scene prayer
Silk gloves tracing the cold night air
Hear that hush when the violins crack?
That’s the sound of a heartbeat snapping back
(Pre-Chorus)
Red lips, razor kiss
Say my name like your final wish
One more dance in the afterglow
Everybody’s dying to know
(Chorus)
It’s a velvet mask massacre
Slow burn, heart attacker
Spin you round, pull you close,
Feel that blade in your ribs like a lover’s oath
Velvet mask massacre
Sweet touch, soul snatcher
Blood on the marble floor
You’ll be begging me for more
(Verse 2)
High heels echo down the hall
Shadow on the bathroom wall
Flash of silver, candlelight
I make murder look polite
Corset tight, composure clean
Prettiest villain you’ve ever seen
Your pulse is loud, your mouth goes dry
You taste the fear but call it desire
Pre-Chorus
Red lips, razor kiss
Trace your throat with a promise like this
Close your eyes, count to three
You won’t feel a thing from me
(Chorus)
It’s a velvet mask massacre
Slow burn, heart attacker
Spin you round, pull you near
Whisper “love” in your trembling ear
Velvet mask massacre
Dark room, glamour slasher
Crimson on couture
Beauty lethal, pure
Bridge (whispered / breakdown)
Shh…
Dance with me in the danger zone
No one here is going home
Flashbulb, siren, flashing red
Kiss the living, wake the dead
(I look better in your blood)
(I look better when you run)
(Final Chorus (bigger, chaotic))
Velvet mask massacre
No escape, no answer
Choke on the roses you brought tonight
I bloom in the flashing lights
Velvet mask massacre
Fame, fear, disaster
One last breath, encore —
Curtain falls on the ballroom floor
(Outro)
Lipstick smeared, violin cracks
Leave them dying for my tracks
Blow a kiss through the smoke and laughter…
See you at the next massacre.
