# LET ME OUT [INTRO — distant industrial ambience, wet corridor, slow mechanical pulse] [SAYA — extremely distant sustained third voice, almost indistinguishable from the music] Ah-ah-ah... Aaah... [JURI — whispering from the left] There you are. [AZULA — calm, distant, from the right] Wrong turn. [Electric crackle] [SAYA — stretched behind them] Come... closer... [VERSE 1 — JURI] Little feet on a flooded floor One more lock, one more door Hold your breath, keep moving fast Every hallway brings you back Did you hear me in the wall? Did you think you heard me crawl? Turn around—I’m somewhere near [Juri laughs, suddenly farther away] Or maybe I’m already here. [SAYA — wordless, mournful, underneath] Ah-ah-ah... Mm-ah... [AZULA — controlled] Left is closed Right is burning Every corner keeps returning Choose a door I’ll give you three One... [Electric snap] Two... [Silence] [JURI — directly behind the listener] She found you before we did. [CHORUS — JURI and AZULA, restrained and threatening] Run Run where the red lights lead Run Give the walls what they need Every step Every sound Takes you farther underground Run Run until you find the room [SAYA — distant, apparently pleading] Let me out... [POST-CHORUS — instrumental pulse] [SAYA — stretched vocal motif] Let me... Let me... Ah-ah-ah... [VERSE 2 — JURI] Soft white walls with yellow stains Leather straps and broken chains Someone breathing in the chair Head bowed low beneath her hair Aw... You found another frightened thing. [AZULA] Do not touch her. [JURI — amused] Why stop him now? [SAYA — weak, close for the first time] Please... [Music becomes muffled, as if heard inside the padded room] [SAYA — fragile, restrained] I heard you running I heard you fall I tried to warn you Through the walls They left me here They tied me down Please... Don’t leave me with them now. [Short silence] [Sound of restraints being opened] [SAYA — inhale] [All background vocals stop] [BRIDGE — almost no instruments] [SAYA — clean voice for the first time, very close] You heard me all this time. Not in the room. Not in the walls. Inside the song. [Small laugh escaping through her breath] You thought I was calling for help? [Her laugh bends into a rising cry] Oh... You sweet, stupid thing. [SAYA — smiling] I was calling them. [SAYA erupts into a long ecstatic howl, half laughter, half scream] [JURI answers with wild laughter moving through the walls] [AZULA’S lightning tears past the listener] [HEAVY FINAL DROP] [AZULA — calm over the chaos] Keep running. [JURI] I love this part! [FINAL CHORUS — all three voices] [JURI AND AZULA] Run Run where the red lights lead Run Now the third one has been freed Every step Every sound Only turns the hunter round Run Run until the walls give in [SAYA — soaring above them] I am out... [JURI] She’s awake. [AZULA] And you opened the door. [SAYA — sustained, ecstatic] Ah-ah-ah... I can hear you... Ah-ah-ah... I can feel you... [Music begins distorting] [SAYA — suddenly whispered beside the listener] Thank you. [Final electric impact] [All sound cuts] [SAYA — alone in complete darkness] Run again. [Soft laugh] [END]
