Patient light comes through the cracks

Where I left the curtain pulled

And the morning takes its time

It is patient, it is full

I have nothing left to prove

Nothing left to hold

So I sit here in the kitchen

Wait for the kettle to go

Hold me steady, hold me slow

Like the river holds the stone

I will go where you go

Every song I ever wrote

Was a letter to a door

Some I knocked, some I did not

Some I'm knocking at once more

Hold me steady, hold me slow

Like the river holds the stone

I will go where you go

Wherever you go

And the light, and the light

Comes patient through the cracks

And it does not need a reason

And it does not turn its back

Hold me steady, hold me slow

Like the river holds the stone

I will go where you go

Background timing

Forced alignment, made for songs.

Upload a song and Pinline times the pasted lyric lines in the background. If the audio and lyrics disagree, the project is marked for review instead of pretending every line matched cleanly.

Pull the vocals out

Isolate

The vocal stem is separated from the rest of the track inside our private worker. Audio never leaves your account's bucket.

Hear every line

Transcribe

A speech model listens to the vocal stem and writes down what it hears, with timestamps.

Match your written lines

Align

A global aligner pins each line you wrote to the detected timing. Lines it can't match are interpolated.

Drag what's off

Refine

Watch the slot-machine preview. Drag any line that's a beat early or late. Export when it's right.

Goes everywhere

Three formats. One click each.

Pinline writes the canonical formats every modern lyrics surface accepts. Pick one or export all three.

TTML

Apple Music for Artists

The format Apple accepts for direct lyric submission. Pinline emits AMLL-compliant TTML with per-line timing.
