[Intro]
[Sparse Synth][Heavy Reverb]
Pearl in side (soft, hold "side")
Not for wide (breathy, fading on "wide")
(mmm)

[Verse 1]
[Microtonal Synth][Staccato Rhythm][Dry Vocal]
Sys-tem calls (pause) I let it ring (staccato on "calls", hold "ring")
Fin-ger-print (breath) but not the string (glottal stop on "print")
You want my pearl (soft) you want it bare (breathy on "bare")
I keep it un-der (pause) un-der where (rising on "where")
(ah-ah)
Un-der skin un-der tone (intimate, staccato)
Un-der fre-quen-cy un-known (echo on "known")
You scan the sur-face scan the screen (staccato)
My pearl is in the in-be-twee-een (legato)

[Pre-Chorus]
[Noise Swell][Spoken Word Accelerating][Layered Vocals][Dry Close-Mic Left][Telephone EQ Right]
And they say share care be there be square (building)
(be square... ha)
But square root of two dont fit in your soft-ware (glitch-stutter on "ware")
(mmm... error)

[Chorus]
[Sub-Bass Saturation][Female Vocals][Belt Voice]
Pearl in-side not for show (sharp attack on "Pearl")
Let it rest let it glo-o-ow
(ah-ah-ah)
Dra-gon wants it
~~~~
screen de-mands it (staccato)
I with-hold you wont un-der-stand it (hold "stand" with vibrato)
Pearl in-side slow-ly grows (legato)
Not for show (abrupt, soft)
(show... oh... mmm... hide)

[Verse 2]
[Bit-Crushed Distortion][Half-Time Feel][Darker Vocal]
Dra-gon-ball the hunt be-gins (staccato, glitch on "ball")
Al-go-rhythm col-lects my skins (staccato, glitch-chop on "rhythm")
You of-fer care a per-fect lie (legato, then abrupt stop)
A quan-tized lul-la-by (glottal stop before "lullaby", hold "by")
(bye... bye...)
You want my pearl to fuel your feed (staccato)
You want my voice to plant your seed (chop "seed", echo)
But fish in mir-ror stops the fight (intimate on "fight")
She knows the re-flec-tion has no bite (abrupt, dry on "bite")
(no bite... shh)

[Pre-Chorus]
[Layered Distorted Vocals][Spoken Word][Noise]
And they purr trust must just ad-just (accelerating, glitch on "just")
(purr... ha)
But my care-wave crash-es on their dis-gust (legato swell on "care-wave", hard cut on "disgust")
(error... crash)

[Chorus]
[Full Noise Texture][Layered Vocals][Belt Voice]
Pearl in-side not for show (sharp)
Let it rest let it glo-o-ow
(ah-ah-ah)
Dra-gon wants it
~~~~
screen de-mands it (staccato)
I with-hold you wont un-der-stand it (vibrato on "stand")
Pearl in-side slow-ly grows (legato)
Not for show (soft)
(show... oh... mmm... hide)

[Bridge]
[Breakdown][Minimal][Ethereal][Single Synth][Voice Cracks Allowed][No Additional Layers]
Emp-ty scroll (breathy)
I look and see me (intimate)
No code (pause) no key (staccato)
Just breath (inhale) set free (pure tone, then sudden bit-crush distortion tail on "free")
(ah... free...)
Care wave re turn ing (legato, stretch "wave")
Soft and slow (soft)
Un learn ing (voice crack on "learn")
(ing... mmm)

[Outro]
[Ambient River][Fading][Stutter][Tape Stop]
Still sur-vived in-side the stream (legato)
Not a com-mand not a dream (hold "dream", vibrato)
Riv-er flows riv-er knows (descending on "flows" and "knows")
Pearl in-side slow-ly glows (legato)
Not for show (breathy)
Nev-er was for sh— (abrupt tape stop on "sh—", hard cut)

[Silence]
(Three seconds of absolute silence, completely dry, no reverb tail. Then a single glass bead rolls across wood, very close mic. Faint, warm room tone.)
[Soft, almost inaudible]
...for you.
