The Encore

[Intro]
[Verse]
Cracked velvet on the stage
I’m a bird inside a cage
Smudged lipstick on my face
Leaving such a bitter trace
Rainwater fills the flute
Everything is staying mute
You’re looking for a thrill
I’m looking for the kill
[Pre-Chorus]
Chandelier begins to sway
Don’t look the other way
Silver locket on the seat
Heartbeat skip a little beat
Lock the heavy theater door
Can’t you hear the floorboards roar?
[Chorus]
Come a little closer, dear
Nothing left for you to fear
Taste the vintage on my breath
Dance a little dance with death
One more sip before you go
Watch the crimson overflow
[Post-Chorus]
Oops, I broke your heart
Tore your world apart
Stay for the encore
Stay for the encore
[Verse]
Centuries of dusty light
I’m the queen of every night
Partygoers come to play
Then they slowly fade away
Self-destruction is a vice
But I think you look so nice
Underneath the rotting wood
Doing things you never should
[Pre-Chorus]
Chandelier begins to sway
Don’t look the other way
Silver locket on the seat
Heartbeat skip a little beat
Lock the heavy theater door
Can’t you hear the floorboards roar?
[Chorus]
Come a little closer, dear
Nothing left for you to fear
Taste the vintage on my breath
Dance a little dance with death
One more sip before you go
Watch the crimson overflow
[Bridge]
Clang of the metal
Dust starts to settle
Pipe organ screaming
Am I only dreaming?
Your pulse is a rhythm
I’m trapped inside with ‘em
So lonely in the dark
Waiting for a tiny spark
[Breakdown]
(Breathy whisper)
Don't scream
It's just a bad dream
Go to sleep now
[Chorus]
Come a little closer, dear
Nothing left for you to fear
Taste the vintage on my breath
Dance a little dance with death
One more sip before you go
Watch the crimson overflow
[Post-Chorus]
Oops, I broke your heart
Tore your world apart
Stay for the encore
Stay for the encore
[Outro]
