ACT ONE | CUMULUS.

why can't i just. . . give up? tear
myself limb from limb and let
myself go? until there's nothing
but bones and . . . and this horrible
thing that took my life away.

because you're angry, levina. you're
angry, and you want to live.

some days i want to spit
me out, the whole mess of me,

but mostly i am good

and quiet.

—camille rankine, emergency management

soundtrack | the calm before the storm

sorry i just need to see you,
sorry i'm so clingy i don't mean to be a lot.
do you really want to love me like you say you do?
give it to me like you say you do?

put a price on emotion,
i'm looking for something to buy.
you've got my devotion,
but man, i can hate you sometimes.
