[Intro: Static, Chatter, and Gavel Hits]

Open the Floor

[Instrumental][Scattered drums echoing in a cavernous chamber]

[SPEAKER 1] The house recognizes the gentleman from—

[SPEAKER 2] Yield the floor! Yield the floor!

[GAVEL SOUND] {Bang!} {Bang!}

Order!

[SPEAKER 3] The nuclear option is on the table!

[alarm tone rises, abruptly cut off]

[synth burst] {BWEEEEE}

[Verse 1: Disjointed Political Fragments Over Percussion Loops]

[SENATOR 1] Our enemies will not wait!

[glitch repeat]
"not wait, not wait—"
"not wait, not wait—"

[SENATOR 2] We must respond before it’s too late!

[glitch repeat]
"too late, too late—"
"too late, too late—"

[bass thump, gavel echo][Instrumental]

[SENATOR 3] Mutually assured destruction... assures... destruction...

[SPEAKER 4] This is not a drill—

[high-pitched scream]
“NOT A DRILL!!!"

[Chorus][Female Vocals]
Open the floor! (Open the floor!)
What are we waiting for? (Waiting for!)
Open the floor! (Open the floor!)
Ready the keys! (Ready the—)

[soundbite] 
“Launch sequence... ready.”

[Bridge: Rising Chaos in the Halls of Power]

[echoing voices over eerie strings]

[SPEAKER 1] Do you yield?!

[SPEAKER 2] I yield to the blast—

[explosive synth burst] {BWEEEEE}

[SPEAKER 3] Crisis demands swift... swift... swift action.

[slicing guitar screeches mimic a countdown][Instrumental]

[SPEAKER 4] But what if we press it first?

[radio squelch]
“first... first... press it first”

[Verse 2: Accelerating Tempo, Layering Arguments]

[SENATOR 1] We can't appear weak in this theater!

[SENATOR 2] Civilization hangs by a wire—

[wire snaps; distorted screaming][Instrumental]

[SPEAKER 5] Fire and fury... fire and fury!

[CHILD VOCALS} "Mommy, is this the end of the world?"

[Chorus][Female Vocals]
Open the floor! (Open the floor!)
What are we waiting for? (Waiting for!)
Open the floor! (Open the floor!)
Turn the key! (Turn the—)

[frenzied layering of voices]
“open!" 
"key!" 
"waiting!”

[Outro: Haunting Resolution]

[distant, muffled gavel echoes as voices fade to murmurs][Instrumental]

[SPEAKER 1] The floor is open...

[silence]

[static crackles, faint explosion noise fades in and out]

[VOX POP] We were warned. They opened the floor...

[soft, somber piano chord]

[long silence as static dissolves into nothingness]

[SPEAKER 1] They can't say we didn't warn them

[SPEAKER 2] Yes yes, that's right. After all, we opened the floor.

We opened the floor.

[CHILD VOCALS} "Mommy, is this the end of the world?"

[Chorus][Female Vocals]
Open the floor! (Open the floor!)
What are we waiting for? (Waiting for!)
Open the floor! (Open the floor!)
What are we waiting for? (Waiting for?)
Open the floor! (Open the floor!)
What are we waiting for? (Waiting for!)
Open the floor! (Open the floor!)
What are we waiting for?
