Diamond After Dark v1
Maximalist electro-pop banger with sharp industrial edges; big four-on-the-floor kick, grinding synth bass, metallic percussion hits, and stacked female contralto vocals, vocal_inspiration_lady_gaga, Verses tight and talky over clipped arps, pre-chorus pulls the drums back with filtered pads, then chorus slams wide with distorted leads and gang shouts. Middle-eight goes half-time and glitchy before exploding back into the final hook.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Velvet rope
Lipstick like a loaded gun
Flashbulb halo
Every sinner wants someone
Glitter on the bathroom sink
Holy water in my drink
I’m the rumor that you read
And then pretend you never think
Pre-Chorus
You want a taste of the teeth behind the smile
You want a saint who can sin once in a while
Finger on the glass
You’re shaking in your skin
Say my name three times
I’ll pull you in
Chorus
Diamond after dark
Baby
I cut
I cut
I cut right through your heart (oh)
Praying in the club
On your knees in designer scars
You want love
You want pain
You want blood on your champagne
Diamond after dark
You wear my bite marks like an angel’s art
Verse 2
Backseat chapel
Confessions in the leather seats
You say “Be gentle”
I turn up the heat
Mascara running like a marathon sin
You lose your halo when I pull you in (come closer)
Pre-Chorus
You want a vow that can break in neon light
You want a queen who can crucify the night
Hands around your past
I twist it into gold
Kiss the chaos
Let your body lose control
Chorus
Bridge
low vocal register
Mirror
Mirror
Show me all your dirty faith
Are you here for mercy
Or the razors in my grace?
crescendo
Choir in my throat
Fever in my veins
If heaven wants you back
It’s gonna have to wait
Chorus
