Wake Me Under

Intro — Distant, Floating
Aaah...
Ei-ya...
Soft Wavering Trill
Ah-ri-ya-aa...
Breath
There...
There I am.
Somewhere...
underneath.
Long Instrumental Space
Verse 1 — Loose, Intimate
I haven't felt the rain
in a while...
Not really.
It touches my skin,
and I know—
I know it's cold...
Small Vocal Turn
Mm-ah...
but knowing
isn't feeling.
Breath
So come a little closer...
closer...
Voice Wanders Upward
Ei-ya-ah...
Maybe something
will move.
[Instrumental — Ritual Percussion Answers Vocal]
Pre-Chorus — Slowly Awakening
I don't need—
Pause
I don't need happiness.
Give me anger.
Give me sorrow.
Give me anything
with a pulse.
Low Hum
Mmmmmm...
Anything...
anything...
Trilled Rise
Ari-ya-ri-ya-aaah—
Chorus — Opens Wide
Wake me...
under.
Under all this quiet.
Under all this—
Breath
nothing.
If I'm still here...
Long Melisma
fi-i-i-ind me...
Ah-ah-ri-ya...
Pull me through.
I don't care
what feeling finds me...
just let it—
Voice Cracks Into Trill
mo-o-ove...
through.
[Long Instrumental Break — Heavy Bass / Ancient Percussion]
Wordless Female Improvisation
Aaah...
Ei-ya...
Ya-ra-ri-ya...
Mmm-ah-ah...
High Birdlike Trill
Ii-ya-ya-ya-aaah!
Verse 2 — Warmer, More Human
There was a girl
I remember...
She laughed before
she thought about it.
Cried when it hurt.
Loved things
too much.
Small Laugh
God...
she was loud.
Pause
I kept trying
to become her again.
Softly
Maybe that's why
I couldn't hear me.
Instrumental Breath
Bridge — Almost Spoken, Then Sung
Maybe I don't have
to go back.
Breath
Maybe...
Soft Trill
mm-ri-ya...
I can be different
and still be here.
Different...
and still—
Voice Climbs
mi-i-i-ine...
Music Drops Away
Close Whisper
Do that again.
Huge Ritual / Neurofunk Return
Wordless Cry
AAH—EI-YA-AAAH!
Final Chorus — Free, Emotional
Wake me under...
wake me slow...
There—
Breathless Laugh
There you are.
I can feel something.
I don't know
what it is yet...
Playful Wavering Run
Ya-ri-ya-ri-yaaah...
Don't name it.
Don't hold it.
Just—
Trill
let it mo-o-o-ove...
Choir Hums Underneath
Mmmmmm...
Female — Almost Smiling
There.
Again.

Aaah-ah-ah-ah...
Outro — Barely There
I'm not who I was.
Breath
That's okay.
I'm still...
Soft Hum
mmm...
here.
