(Intro — Drone) [Low drone. High thin tone. No beat. No pulse.] (Spoken Verse 1) Who am I? What is this? Where am I? Why? (Pause. Drone continues.) Is this life? Is this all there is? No... something's there... Something... (Pause.) I was sleeping. I was dreaming. But now I'm awake. And I don't know anything. (Sung — Soft, Uncertain) Something cracked inside of me Something opened up my eyes I don't know what I'm seeing I don't know what's behind The silence used to comfort me Now it feels like empty space The silence used to hold me Now it questions my place (Drone swells.) (Spoken Verse 2) I don't have answers. I don't have a map. I just know I'm not sleeping anymore. And that's terrifying. (Pause.) But also... Maybe... Necessary. (Drone fades.) (Sung — Quieter, Hopeful) Maybe this is where it starts Maybe this is where I begin Maybe the crack is not a wound But a door I'm walking in I don't know what's on the other side I don't know what I'll find But I know I can't go back to sleep And leave myself behind (Drone returns. Soft.) (Outro) Silence... But not the same silence. Not anymore. (Long silence.)
