Many years later, after another contractual marriage went sour and expired without renewal, Siobhan loses her position at the uni due to funding cuts. She's utterly alone now, with the death of her first family and Deirdre's decade-long silence still looming over her, putting an insufferable weight on her conscience that keeps getting heavier each passing year.

lyrics

SIOBHAN
Stare into the pitch black sky
With images from the inner eye
Projected on the dome above
They slowly fade away

Like a slideshow from a distant time
Or poetry that does not rhyme
Fragments of old memories
Falsely attributed to

A woman that once was me
It’s just an empty shell you see
Belonging to a different time
A different place, well out of grace

A girl that once was me
Is bleeding ancient history
Lamenting on the bitterness
the lifelessness, the emptiness

If I had a name
It was "Unalive"

NARRATOR
The dream is unalive
Has it always been a lie
Has it always been a straw
That I clung to and thus far:

The dream is but a dream
That’s what it’s always been
No amount of time can change
The truth; it’s far too strange

CONSCIENCE
And then the dream silently died
Another dream that was a lie
No future blossoms thrive
In a dream called Unalive

SIOBHAN
When I close my eyes
I will dream of youth
Back when I felt alive

In a sky of blue
I feel the sun shine through
With her beams of life

For as long as I breath
And while my heart still beats
I know I that I am alive

But I always wake up.

NARRATOR
The dream is unalive
Has it always been a lie
Has it always been a straw
That I clung to and thus far:

The dream is but a dream
That’s what it’s always been
No amount of time can change
The truth; it’s far to strange

CONSCIENCE
And then the dream silently died
Another dream that was a lie
No future blossoms thrive
In a dream called Unalive
