Lyrics

Characters:
- T (Tyreek)
- C (Chroma)
[Scene 1 — The Door]
C (offstage, urgent, knocking):
Tyreek.
Open up.
Open up!
Come on, man—
It's me.
It's me.
You gotta let me in, man.
Please come on, Tyreek, please.
Let me in.
Let me in—let me in—
Please.
Come on.
T (inside, disoriented):
Who's at the—
I'm co— I'm coming to the door, man.
J-just gimme a second.
Damn
Aye—
I'm—
Man, chill.
[The Void Appears]
(Lights collapse. Sound drops. Space shifts.)
[Scene 2 — The Void]
T:
What—
Ah man
Where am I?
I don't got time for a monologue.
Send me back.
C (distant):
Hello?
T (firm):
No. Don't do it.T:
Can you hear me?
Hello?
C:
Stop.
T:
Hello?
C (sharper):
Stop!
T:
Hello—
C (snaps):
Damn!
(beat)
C (grounded):
Ah.
We in it.
[Scene 3 — The Ritual]
C (expanding, poetic):
When the world becomes dark
and its weight feels oh so heavy
upon my shoulders—
T (leaning in):
Go ahead.
C:
I found this new thing.
I found this ritual.
T:
Ritual?
Talk about it.
C:
I close my eyes—
T:
Uh huh—
C:
I count to three—
T:
One two three—
C:
I place my headphones upon my crown
And—
ooh—once that needle drop—
I discovered my ancestors.
Through this practice,
I'm not just listening
I've summoned the spirits of heroes.
T (warning, reverent):
You better not forget 'em.
C (building):
The cold blue steel of Miles' trumpet—
T (layering):
Freddie.
Ella.
C:
The sultry bellow of Nina Simone—
All while the cool breeze of my fan,
coupled with the warmth of my blanket—
T (smiling):
I like the sound of that.
C:
Wraps me up in all this love—
T:
Come on—
C (rising):
Oh yes—this is love—
T:
More love with it—
C:
This love
And I know, with this love
that I can breathe again.
T (affirming, rhythmic):
Yes, you can.
Yes, you can.
Yes—you can.
C (breaking open):
Oh yes, world!
I can breathe—
I can breathe—
T:
Yes, you can—
Yes, you can—
C (release):
I can breathe again!
T (grounding):
Breathe.
[Scene 4 — Vision / Chroma]
C (soft, expansive):
With my eyes wide shut
I can see all the colors of the rainbow—
Through their sound,
through their vibrations,
their voices,their warmth,
their love
Their love
Their love
Their love
(shift — new movement)
C:
And I know these colors are dancing—
T (rhythmic, playful):
Yes they are.
C:
Yes, these colors are dancing—
T:
Bachata.
Rhumba.
C:
Can't you see it?
T:
Rara.
C:
Can't you feel it?
It's all in the air—
It's Chroma.
C (release):
Wooooooo—
