[Intro: Low-register lead whisper; normal pacing; solo piano; 75 BPM; intimate centered vocal] I learned to smile And play my part But something nameless Lives inside my heart Listen Underneath the quiet There's a voice I haven't met [Brief Silence] [Verse 1: Intelligent dance music; extremely rapid crisp syllables; 75 BPM; dry centered lead; sparse electronic drums, FM synth and clockwork percussion] Yes, yes, sweet smile, sit straight, look bright Cut, fold, fit in, get every little thing right Tick-tick, tucked in, a spark behind my eyes Click-click, don't blink, the pretty little disguise Good girl, soft voice, neatly tied bow Short list, small print, things you never get to know Back room, last bell, nobody around Tin cans, two hands, building up a brand-new sound Clink-clank, tap-tap, heel against the floor Desk drum, heart thump, give me just a little more Loose notes, lost beats, rolling out of line Pick one, hit two, suddenly the sound is mine [Sudden Deep Chest Voice] “Where did a voice like that come from?” [High-register Rapid Lead; shamisen accents] From here! Down deep! Let loose! No sleep! Got a little thunder that I never meant to keep More bite, more light, more words, more room Let me draw my outline with a bass-drum boom! [Hard Cut] [Pre-Chorus: Operatic pop; normal pacing; solo violin, cello and oboe; rising lead] If only pretty notes can stay Where do the broken pieces go? The crack, the breath, the trembling sound Are they alive enough to show? [Lead: Rising High Register] This tiny keyhole in my throat Could be a doorway for the sky [Brief Silence] [Chorus: Denpa pop; soaring high lead; explosive full-band entrance; wide backing; tight controlled bass] So sweet? So what! Let my voice break out! The girl I was rehearsing For another perfect day Meets the girl I am tonight And lets her lead the way So sweet? So what! Let my heart ring out! The glitter and the gravel And the words I couldn't say Are coming up together Let them carry me away! [Lead: Abrupt Deep Chest Voice] There's more inside me Than a pretty little smile [Lead: Soaring High Register] Up high! Up high! Over the ceiling! Down low! Down low! Into the feeling! [Backing Response: Soft and Distant] I am here [Lead: Clear and Centered] With my own voice I'm coming back for me! [Hard Cut] [Rap: Japanese idol pop; 150 BPM; extremely rapid short syllables; lean drums and bass; close dry lead] Wait, wait, wrong tag, who put that there? Nice kid, shy kid, handle her with care Stick it on my collar, stick it on my tongue Till every little song I had was left unsung Rip-rip, took it off, stung a little bit Zip-zip, all the words I swallowed wouldn't fit Click-click, now I get the thing I really need Less about applause and more a voice I can believe Tight throat, light breath, let the knot unwind One step, half step, leave the script behind Missed notes, wrong turns, scattered on the floor Pick them up and make a pattern no one's heard before [Lead: High-register Rapid Singing] Bright bit, quick wit, spark-spit, switch it Voice flips, beat skips, catch it, don't ditch it Spin-spin, spring snaps, little locks breaking One breath, two feet, whole room waking [Lead: Abrupt Deep Register; Precise Rhythmic Delivery] Boom-boom, underneath Knock-knock, let me breathe Drop the score, unlock the door Got a little truth you haven't heard before [Lead: High-register Rapid Singing] Rise and fall and leap and land Twist the screws out, free my hands Find a note I never knew Let a nameless morning through [Lead: Deep Spoken Rhythm] Before the whole world hears me I'll be the first to take my side [Brief Silence] [Instrumental: Strictly instrumental; no vocals, words, chants or vocal chops; approximately 55 seconds; 75 BPM IDM groove] [Eight Bars: Shamisen and Biwa Motif; FM Synth; Water-drop and Clockwork Percussion] [Eight Bars: Accordion and Bandoneon Trade Phrases; Double Bass; Castanets and Footsteps] [Four Bars: Piccolo, Flute, Oboe and Clarinet Relay; Kalimba and Steelpan] [Four Bars: Saxophone, Trumpet and Tuba Accents; Djembe; Controlled Sub Bass] [Four Bars: Bagpipes and Tin Whistle; Steel Guitar; Violin and Cello; Hyoshigi Clappers; Brief Turntable Scratch] [Hard Cut] [Bridge: Operatic pop; 55 BPM; low-register lead whisper; spacious phrasing; soft steady pulse; cello and sparse piano] The truth is I was scared If I spoke Would you still want me there? If I smiled Would you let me stay? So I left A part of me Outside Day after day [Lead: Gentle Low Melody] No more Waiting I don't have to Get it right I can be The one who owns This voice Tonight [Lead: Gradually Rising; Single Sustained Phrase] Beyond the lips I held so tight A little morning took a breath [Brief Silence] [Final Chorus: Denpa pop; 75 BPM; explosive full ensemble; normal vocal pacing; soaring lead; instruments enter in rotating groups] So sweet? So what! Let my voice break out! The smile I wore so carefully To make it through the day Is turning into laughter I don't have to hide away So sweet? So what! Let my heart ring out! The glitter and the gravel And the truth beneath the shine Are lighting up together Every color of them mine! [Lead: Sudden Deep Chest Voice; Backing Drops Out] This low voice, too Is a wing of mine [Lead: Sudden Soaring High Register; Wide Instruments Return] Up high! Up high! Unravel the night! Down low! Down low! Hold the earth tight! [Backing Response: Soft and Distant] I am here [Lead: Centered; Clear Words] I may not sound like The dream you had of me But I can hear my heartbeat In this melody So sweet? So what! Let my voice break out! A world is waking In this little throat of mine I'll sing my name into it Till it answers with the light! [Lead: Sustained High Note] Let it ring— [Lead: Abrupt Low Register] I'm home At last [Hard Cut] [Outro: Japanese idol pop; 75 BPM; low-register whisper; slow spacious phrasing; piano and soft steady pulse] When morning comes The same old clothes The same old street The life I know But now I hear it Deep inside [Lead: Intimate Low Whisper] So sweet? So what Today I'll say it In my own voice Good morning [Brief Silence]
