Lyrics
## Production instruction: The vocals are purposedly designed to phase drift out, then back in again. ## Have applied underwater like DSP for a deeper floating effect. ## These phased out lyrics are also placed slightly infront of the lead singer to create a bit of unease. ## This is all by design. The elevator opened~ Halfway between floors~ A sound kept looping~ Behind the metal door~ (ooh…) I stayed completely still~ So the light would settle~ The numbers kept changing~ Without descending~ A wire swings slowly~ Above the hallway~ Dust moving sideways~ Like underwater snow~ (mmm… softly…) Someone left footprints~ Leading into drywall~ Not pressed into it~ Just stopping there~ The ceiling bends inward~ Near the exit sign~ The farther I follow~ The shorter the hall~ (ahh…) There’s a pause~ Inside the building~ Like it forgot~ What came next~ (ooh… yeah…) The silence thickens~ Near the stairwell~ I hear the hum~ Before the bulbs wake up~ The walls learned breathing~ After midnight~ Slow expansion~ Slow return~ (aaah… softly…) Every closed doorway~ Holds a faint vibration~ Like another room~ Trying to overlap~ (mmm… ahh…) A quiet shape~ Moves through the flicker~ Then disappears~ Before the light returns~ (oooh…) I remember standing~ Near the vending machine~ Watching the reflection~ Move before I did~ (oooh…) The carpet felt warmer~ Near the broken office~ Like something sleeping~ Beneath the concrete~ I think the building~ Was studying patterns~ Repeating movements~ Until they felt natural~ (mmm… yeah…) Now the memory stretches~ Longer than the moment~ Small sounds returning~ Out of sequence~ (ahh… softly…) A door closed somewhere~ Three times exactly~ And afterward~ Nothing felt connected~ (ooh…) The walls learned breathing~ Before I noticed~ The room kept changing~ While I stood inside it~ (aaah… mm…) Every passing hour~ Left another version~ Stacked behind the first~ Still unfinished~ (softly… softly…) The elevator opened~ Halfway again~ The light kept flickering~ Without burning out~ (mmm… ahh…) [Fade to End]
