Unmasked

[Intro - Vinyl crackle + reversed piano + soft sub bass, Vocals (whispered)]
Midnight eyes… silver on the floor…
You were never who I thought before.

[Verse 1 - Soft 808 kick (beats 1 &3), rim snare (2 &4), sparse open hi-hat, moody synth pad]
Crowds fade out, velvet in my hands,
Your stare hit deep, I don’t understand.
Masks came down, air turned slow,
I swear I’ve seen that face before.

[Chorus 1 - Full 808 bass glide (D# to C#), trap hi-hat + snare ghost notes, clap with reverb, bell/pluck synth]
After the mask hit the floor (yeah),
I don’t know who I am anymore (nah).
Your eyes pulled me out that night,
Past the gold, past the ballroom light.

[Verse 2 - Same drums, lower bass volume, add soft string pad]
Feathers fall in the candle glow,
One step close and the world won’t slow.
Glass cracked out on the marble cold,
Every secret that you had, I know.

[Chorus 2 - Punchy 808, double-time hi-hats, full snare + clap, bells + reversed piano accents, vocal chops “after the mask” (pitch down, pan L/R)]
After the mask hit the floor (woah), 
Can’t go back to before (nah).
Your eyes pulled me out that night,
Past the gold, past the ballroom light.

[Bridge - (Phonk Break) Keep 808 + hi-hats, remove most other instruments, repeat vocal chop with heavy reverb and delay, Vocals: (no singing, instrumental focus)]
After the mask… the mask… the mask…

[Outro - Drop drums, reversed piano fading out, vinyl crackle returns, Vocals (whispered)]
Midnight eyes… silver on the floor…
You were never who I thought before.
