[Intro – 0:00 – 0:15]
Slow heartbeat-like bass, subtle chocolate dripping sound effect
Luma (whispered):
“Sweet but deadly… taste the pain.”
⸻
[Verse 1 – 0:16 – 0:35]
Aris:
Velvet taste, the sugar’s lies
Candied promises in your eyes
But in the dark, I feel the chill
A chocolate knife, it’s moving still
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – 0:36 – 0:55]
Luma:
I trusted you, I let you near
But sweetness hides a deadly spear
Aris:
Every smile, every fake embrace
Leaves a mark I can’t erase
(Build tension with synth strings and rising percussion)
⸻
[Chorus – 0:56 – 1:20]
All (harmonized):
Chocolate knife, right in my back
Bitter sweet, and now I crack
Love’s a game, a masquerade
All that glitters starts to fade
All:
Oh-oh, oh-oh, knife…
⸻
[Verse 2 – 1:21 – 1:45]
Luma:
Melting lies, I taste the sting
Velvet words that always cling
Aris:
Every promise, every vow
Broken now, I see it now
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – 1:46 – 2:05]
Luma:
I trusted you, I let you near
But sweetness hides a deadly spear
Aris:
Every smile, every fake embrace
Leaves a mark I can’t erase
⸻
[Chorus – 2:06 – 2:30]
All:
Chocolate knife, right in my back
Bitter sweet, and now I crack
Love’s a game, a masquerade
All that glitters starts to fade
All:
Oh-oh, oh-oh, knife…
⸻
[Rap Bridge – 2:31 – 2:55]
Nix (Rap):
Candied lies, sugar coated pain
I see the edge, you can’t explain
Sweet betrayal, hearts on attack
I take the power, snatch it back
(Add echo/reverb on “snatch it back” for drama)
⸻
[Final Chorus – 2:56 – 3:30]
All (dramatic, harmonized, strong stage presence):
Chocolate knife, right in my back
Bitter sweet, and now I crack
Love’s a game, a masquerade
All that glitters starts to fade
All:
Oh-oh, oh-oh, knife…
⸻
[Outro – 3:31 – 3:40]
Dramatic pause, dripping chocolate sound, fading synth
Luma (soft, echo):
“Bitter never tasted so sweet…”
