[2 Female Singers]
[Voice 1: Lia — airy, soaring female vocals]
[Voice 2: Vani — low, powerful female vocals]
[Intro: ocean rumble, cracking glass]
[Female choir: distant, breathy]
Ah-ah... ah-ah...
[Lia: whispered]
The water's at the door.
[Vani]
Then open it.
[Verse 1: Lia, eerie and delicate]
Salt upon the velvet stairs
Broken pearls are everywhere
All the portraits turn to see
What becomes of girls like me
Pink ribbons floating in the hall
Little cracks along the wall
I can hear the ocean sing
Come and take back everything
[Verse 2: Vani, rhythmic and defiant]
Blue silk dragging through the tide
All those years we stayed inside
Every lock and every key
Never had a hold on me
Let the silver mirrors fall
Let the water take it all
You can keep your pretty crown
Watch your perfect kingdom drown
[Pre-Chorus: alternating, rising strings]
[Lia]
Can you hear them calling?
[Vani]
From beneath the floor
[Lia]
All the girls before us
[Both]
Won't be silent anymore!
[Chorus: explosive dark K-pop beat]
[Both]
FLOOD THE HOUSE!
Let the water in!
Wash away the pretty little
World they kept us in!
FLOOD THE HOUSE!
Watch the walls come down!
We were never made of porcelain
We won't let you watch us drown!
[Female choir: powerful]
Ah-ah-ah! Ah-ah-ah!
[Both]
Flood it! Flood it!
Let the ocean in!
[Post-Chorus: pulsing bass]
[Vani]
Que se rompa todo!
[Lia]
もう怖くない!
[Both]
No more dolls in paradise
Watch the water rise, rise, rise!
[Verse 3: alternating, playful and fierce]
[Lia]
There's a teacup in the sea
[Vani]
There's the girl I used to be
[Lia]
All her ribbons coming loose
[Vani]
All her secrets breaking through
[Lia]
See the lighthouse through the rain?
[Vani]
We can finally leave this place
[Both]
Take my hand and count to three
One, two, three — SET US FREE!
[Dance Break: thunderous bass, crashing waves]
[Female choir: rhythmic]
Flood! Flood! Flood the house!
Ah-ah-ah!
Flood! Flood! Flood the house!
[Bridge: instruments fall away]
[Lia: intimate]
I thought the world would end
If I stopped being good
[Vani]
I thought nobody would love me
If I finally told the truth
[Lia]
But the sky is turning pink
[Vani]
And the ocean's turning blue
[Both: rising harmony]
There's a whole world beyond these walls
And I wanna see it with you
[Final Chorus: soaring duet, full female choir]
[Both]
FLOOD THE HOUSE!
Let the water in!
Every girl who lost her voice
Is learning how to sing!
FLOOD THE HOUSE!
Let the whole thing fall!
We were never made of porcelain
We were never yours at all!
[Female choir: triumphant]
Ah-ah-ah! Ah-ah-ah!
[Both]
Flood it! Flood it!
Let the ocean in!
[Outro: waves soften, morning birds]
[Lia]
Vani... look at the sunrise.
[Vani: smiling]
We made it.
[Both: soft harmony]
No more pretty little lies
Just the sea and open skies
[Final wave; silence]
