[Intro - Team Voices, spoken]
One for a typo.
Two for a test.
Three for the question
we can't confess.

[Verse 1 - Male/Female Duet, alternating]
[Male Vocal]
"Login fix?" says LAY-on. "Three."
klowss says, "One, if left to me."
[Female Vocal]
PREE-yah slaps down card thirteen:
"Half this flow has not been seen."
MAH-rah drops the outage chart.
[Male Vocal]
VIK-tor smirks, "How hard to start?"
[Female Vocal]
She holds an eight above the table:
"Power loss is not predictable."

[Pre-Chorus - Female Vocal]
Every hand reveals a score;
every doubt becomes a four.
zah-BEE-nuh says, "These numbers land
on work at hand, not where we stand."

[Chorus - Male/Female Duet, harmonized]
Story points of no return—
count the hours, watch them burn.
Five for courage, eight for sleep,
thirteen for the vows we keep.
When a number owns the name,
no one knows the work again.

[Verse 2 - Female Vocal]
Coffee refill: half a point.
Lunch with Legal: cross-team joint.
Ask for help? Dependency.
Tell the truth? Uncertainty.
PREE-yah flags the missing spec;
klowss demands a sanity check.
VIK-tor scrawls beside each face:
average output, rank and place.

[Pre-Chorus - Male/Female Duet, alternating]
[Female Vocal]
zah-BEE-nuh wipes the column clean:
"People are not rating schemes."
[Male Vocal]
VIK-tor restores it from the cloud,
then reads the lowest score aloud.

[Chorus - Male/Female Duet, harmonized]
Story points of no return—
count the hours, watch them burn.
Five for courage, eight for sleep,
thirteen for the vows we keep.
When a number owns the name,
no one knows the work again.

[Clean Guitar Interlude]

[Bridge - Female Vocal]
How many points for saying no?
How many points for what we know?
How many points before we stall
a rotten build they want to ship at all?

[Breakdown - Team Choir]
One. Two. Three. Five.
Eight. Thirteen.
The sequence climbs.
The people leave.

[Build-up - Female Vocal]
zah-BEE-nuh holds no card at all:
a blank white square against the wall.
"Not every risk will fit your scale."
VIK-tor types: "Resistance—fail."

[Final Chorus - Male/Female Duet, harmonized]
Story points of no return—
watch the tidy columns turn.
Five for silence, eight for blame,
thirteen chains around a name.
No clean metric makes us learn;
story points of no return.

[Outro - Female Vocal]
One for the ticket.
Two for the chart.
No number printed
can price the craft.
