Awake

[Intro] [SFX: low electrical hum, old television static] [SFX: slow radio frequency sweeping] [Female Voice - soft, intimate, distant] Hey… [Female Voice - gentle, reassuring] Open your eyes. [Male Voice - sleepy, confused] I’m awake. [Female Voice - suddenly concerned] No… Not you. [SFX: frequency slips, three-note piano riff] [Male Voice - distant, distorted whisper] Wake up… [Male Voice - deeper, overlapping] Wake up… [Male Voice - aggressive, close] WAKE THAT SHIT UP. [Instrumental] [SFX: massive distorted bass drop] [Verse 1] [Male Rap - deep, gritty, rhythmic] Eyes wide, lights low, Tell me where the hell did I go? Same room, same bed, Different voice inside my head. One blink, two lives, Something moving behind my eyes. Can’t sleep, can’t stay, Somebody else is wide awake. [Male Rap - faster, hypnotic] Get up, get up, Get out my way. Back up, back up, Not today. Click it, click it, Switch that side. Who’s awake Behind my eyes? [Chorus] [Male Vocal - deep, melodic, repetitive] Wake up, wake up, Wake that shit up. Eyes open wide But I can’t get up. Wake up, wake up, Don’t let me go. Somebody’s driving And I’m moving too slow. Awake, awake, Who’s in my place? Same damn eyes, Different face. Wake up, wake up, Wake that shit up. I can see everything But I can’t get up. [Instrumental] [SFX: hard 808 bass drop, chopped vocal echoes] [Break] [SFX: rapid radio channel flipping] [Male Voice - slick, amused, The Thief] You snooze… I win. [SFX: channel click] [Male Voice - aggressive, distorted, The Anger] GET OUT OF MY WAY. [SFX: channel click] [Male Voice - young, frightened, The Child] I wanna go home. [SFX: abrupt silence] [Female Voice - frightened, whispering] There are two of you. [Male Voice - low, confused] Two of who? [Female Voice - barely audible] Both of you are awake. [SFX: sudden frequency collapse] [Instrumental] [SFX: enormous sub-bass drop] [Verse 2] [Male Rap - dark, tight syncopated flow] Black screen, bright light, Living through somebody else’s night. Hands move, mouth speaks, Watching from the backseat. One mind, two keys, Something’s taking over me. Fast forward, rewind, Can’t get back behind my eyes. [Male Rap - escalating rhythmic repetition] Break it, break it, Break that lock. Tick it, tick it, Hear that clock. Flip it, flip it, Switch that track. Let me in, I want it back. [Chorus] [Male Vocal - layered, hypnotic] Wake up, wake up, Wake that shit up. Eyes open wide But I can’t get up. Wake up, wake up, Don’t let me go. Somebody’s driving And I’m moving too slow. Awake, awake, Who’s in my place? Same damn eyes, Different face. Wake up, wake up, Wake that shit up. I can see everything But I can’t get up. [Instrumental] [SFX: distorted piano riff, heavy bass drop] [Bridge] [SFX: tape rewind, overlapping radio frequencies] [Male Voice - warm, relaxed, The Hippie] Man… Just let it ride. [SFX: channel click] [Male Voice - hollow, emotionless, The Death] Does it even matter? [SFX: channel click] [Male Voice - melancholy, The Romantic] I remember how it felt. [SFX: channel click] [Male Voice - deep, steady, The Protector] Listen to me. Stay with her. [SFX: abrupt silence] [Female Voice - panicked, close] Don’t close your eyes. [Male Voice - quiet, strained] I can’t move. [Female Voice - desperately reassuring] Follow my voice. [Male Voice - distorted, distant] Which one? [Female Voice - trembling] Mine. [Break] [SFX: heartbeat slows, low static] [Male Voice - whispered] I can hear you. [Female Voice - relieved] Good… [Male Voice - second identical voice, behind her] So can I. [SFX: complete silence] [Instrumental] [SFX: devastating distorted bass drop] [Final Chorus] [Male Vocal - doubled, competing voices] Wake up, wake up, Wake that shit up. Eyes open wide But I can’t get up. Wake up, wake up, Don’t let me go. Somebody’s driving And I’m moving too slow. Awake, awake, Who’s in my place? Same damn eyes, Different face. Wake up, wake up, Wake that shit up. I can see everything But I can’t get up. [Instrumental] [SFX: frantic channel flipping, bass slowly disintegrates] [Outro] [SFX: faint hard drive clicking, distant static] [Female Voice - exhausted, soft] I got you back. [Male Voice - quiet] Did you? [Female Voice - uncertain] I think so. [SFX: soft radio click] [Male Voice - identical voice, whispered from far away] You left the door open. [Female Voice - suddenly terrified] Who’s there? [SFX: abrupt power failure] [Outro]
