Saints Of The Afterparty

[Intro] (Spoken, low) You feel that? …yeah… it’s starting… [Verse 1] Basement lights and a broken sign Midnight creeping up my spine Dirty sneakers on holy ground Hear that whisper in the sound Everyone’s got something to hide Something crawling deep inside Paint it black, dress it loud Lose your name inside the crowd [Pre-Chorus] You can run but it won’t let go Feel it underneath your bones Every secret starts to show When the afterparty calls [Chorus] We are the saints of the afterparty Singing loud like it’s our last night Hands up high in the burning neon Dancing close to the fault line We are the lost and the never-sorry Voices raised in a fever dream If it breaks us, it makes us holy In the wreck of everything [Verse 2] Strobe light flicker, faces blur Truth gets twisted into slur Someone laughing way too loud Someone crying in the crowd You can taste it in the air Something wrong but no one cares Every heartbeat hits too fast Like a spell you know won’t last [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Break – Choir / Gospel Response] (Lead) Can you feel it? (Choir) We feel it! (Lead) In your body? (Choir) In your bones! (Lead) Can you hear it calling? (Choir) Calling us home! [Bridge – darker, stripped back → build] If there’s heaven, it’s not tonight If there’s angels, they lost the fight We’re just echoes in flashing light Tryna make it feel alright (Choir, rising) Ohhh… don’t let go… Ohhh… don’t let go… [Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus – full power] We are the saints of the afterparty Screaming out in electric light No salvation, just this moment Holding on for one more night We are the lost and the never-sorry Standing tall in the fallout scene If it breaks us, it makes us holy In the wreck of everything [Outro – chaotic fade] (Lead ad libs) Don’t let it end… don’t let it end… (Choir) Saints… saints… saints…
