The Bottom of Nothing

V6

[Verse 1] I counted every stair beneath my feet Each number cracked and vanished in the heat I reached for stone and closed my hand on air The room kept going; nothing waited there [Pre-Chorus] No floor to break, no ground to claim Just one more inch without a name [Chorus] I am falling through the bottom of nothing No hands, no walls, no way to measure down I keep reaching, I keep reaching for something But the dark gives back the shape of my own hands [Verse 2 - Rap] I drew a map on the inside of my sleeve Marked the places where I thought I could believe Every arrow bent and pointed through my chest Every answer wore the face of one more test I bite my tongue, I taste the dust of doubt There’s no door to kick, no edge to climb back out Still I move, though the silence says I’m done Still I move, with nowhere left to run [Pre-Chorus] No floor to break, no ground to claim Just one more inch without a name [Chorus] I am falling through the bottom of nothing No hands, no walls, no way to measure down I keep reaching, I keep reaching for something But the dark gives back the shape of my own hands [Bridge - Spoken] I thought the bottom would be a place. A hard stop. A sound. But there is only the next breath, and the choice to take it. [Final Chorus] I am falling through the bottom of nothing No hands, no walls, but I can still stand now I keep reaching, I keep reaching for something And my own two hands are here; I turn them out [Outro] One more breath. One more step. Not the bottom. Not yet.
