Lorenzo Wolff, Bartees Strange - The Pearl Lyrics

I've been lookin for someone
Who sells truth by the pound
Then I saw the dealer and his friend arrive
But their gifts looked grim
Now I'm tired of hanging on
Waitin' for a showdown

Don't you see I gotta ride 'em out
'Cause the pearls' just 'round the bend
Beautiful pearl, when will you reappear?
Mysteries unfurl, become so clear
When I see you near

I found a way outside myself
To make my spirit climb
And I coulda shinnied on up
But my rope was made of wind
I appreciate the words
But I won't be there at showtime

Don't you see I gotta ride 'em out
'Cause the pearls' just 'round the bend
Beautiful pearl, when will you reappear?
Mysteries unfurl, become so clear
When I see you near

When my backyard weeds grew high
I hoped that they would hide me
But I felt that the pearl was near
'Cause I thought I saw it shine
I was lookin' all around
When I felt it there inside me
And I see a possibility
That its been there all the time
