[Intro — “Lipstick on a Blade”]
[industrial synth pulse, gritty bass, slow seductive beat, metallic shimmer{
Pretty things don’t always mean safe things.
Sometimes beauty is just the packaging.
Sometimes it bites back.
[Verse 1 — “Sweet Talk Poison”]
[dark pop groove, punchy kick, sharp hi-hats, glossy but tense production]
I speak in honeyed warnings
you hear what you want
I smile like a confession
you think it’s love, it’s not
I learned how to sound like comfort
while sharpening the truth
you lean in closer
that’s what I wanted you to do
[Pre-Chorus — “Too Late Now”]
[rising bass tension, distorted synth swell, breathy vocal layers]
you already stepped inside
no need to knock twice
[Chorus — “Velvet Mouth, Razor Teeth”]
[explosive hook, heavy bass drop, industrial pop-rock fusion, aggressive glam energy]
velvet mouth, razor teeth
I kiss like I mean defeat
you fall slow underneath
smiling while you bleed
don’t call it love too sweet
it’s a warning underneath
velvet mouth, razor teeth
you don’t leave when you meet me
[Verse 2 — “Pretty Violence”]
[darker, more rhythmic, bass-driven, hypnotic synth line]
I don’t raise my voice
I lower the room
you think you’re in control
that’s your favorite costume
I let you feel the power
so you don’t notice the shift
by the time you realize
you already drift
[Pre-Chorus 2 — “Mirror Trick”]
glitch textures, rising percussion, echoing vocals]
you’re not looking at me anymore
you’re looking through me
[Final Chorus — “Velvet Mouth, Razor Teeth”]
[maximal intensity, layered synths, distorted guitars, hypnotic repetition]
velvet mouth, razor teeth
I don’t love, I release
you mistake the peace
for something you can keep
but I’m the storm beneath
pretty dressed in relief
velvet mouth, razor teeth
you don’t leave when you meet me
[Outro — “Smile Still There”]
[slow decay, distant bass heartbeat, soft metallic echo]
It still looks like a kiss.
That’s the joke.
