After the Party

[Intro: sub bass pulse, thin synth flicker, room tone] Music off. Lights too bright. [Verse 1: minimal kick, whispered vocal] Paper cups. Spilled stars. Your hands near mine. [small glitch swell] No one says they’re lonely. [Pre-Chorus: airy pad, vocoder shadow] You see me after the shine. I see you out of disguise. [Chorus: deep electronic groove, repeated hook, stacked ghost vocals] After the party, after the party, after the party ends. After the party, after the party, after the party ends. You see me. You see me. You see me when the room goes dead. After the party, after the party, after the party ends. [Verse 2: sparse arpeggio, soft clipped vocal] Glitter sticks to your sleeve. I sweep gold from the floor. [beat drops out] We were extras in our own lives. [Pre-Chorus: rising synth breath] No mask now. No bright lie. Just your face in the white light. [Chorus: heavier bass, hypnotic repetition] After the party, after the party, after the party ends. After the party, after the party, after the party ends. You see me. You see me. You see me when the room goes dead. After the party, after the party, after the party ends. [Bridge: filtered vocal, distant club echo] The quiet has teeth. Your eyes don’t leave. [final build: pulse widening] I am terrified. I am relieved. [Final Chorus: full electronic lift, chopped vocal loop] After the party, after the party, after the party ends. After the party, after the party, after the party ends. You see me. You see me. You see me when the room goes dead. After the party, after the party, after the party ends. After the party, after the party, after the party ends. [Outro: synths dissolve, fluorescent hum returns] Music off. Lights too bright. Your hand. My hand. Still there.
