The Floor That Didn't Ask Permission

V4.5-ALL

[Verse 1 | Female Voice | Warm | Soft | Intimate]
I never knew his face
Just a model plane that hung above my bed
And a sky that always waited
For a pilot who never came back
So I learned to fly without him
With nothing but my voice and a broken song

[Verse 2 | Female Voice | Warm | Building | Light Beat Enters]
I spent years being angry
At a man who never left by choice
I built my walls with fire
So nobody could get close enough to leave
But the fire kept me warm
And it kept me trapped inside the same old noise

[INTERRUPTION — Intimate Pause]
[Verse 3 | Female Voice | Ethereal | Floating | Intimate]
I learned to listen to machines
Because the silence in my house was louder than any word
My mother's quiet was a language
I couldn't speak but I could hear
So I collected sounds
Until I found one that sounded like me

[Verse 4 | Female Voice | Sweet | Playful | Light]
I laughed before I learned to cry
Because making people smile meant they wouldn't go
I danced on every stage
To prove the ground beneath me wouldn't break
But the height never scared me
It was the landing that I feared

[INTERRUPTION — Most Intimate Moment]
[Verse 5 | Female Voice | Cold | Gentle | Piano Only | Most Intimate]
I never learned to smile for cameras
But I learned to sing for the ones who were already gone
My voice was made of ice
But ice can hold the weight of anything
So I sing through the silence
And the silence sings with me

[Chorus | Female Voices | All | Full Orchestra | First Climax]
[crowd roaring]
We didn't find each other by accident
We found each other because we chose to be here
Not because we were brave
Because we had nothing left but each other
And that was everything
That was always everything

[crowd cheering]

[INTERRUPTION — Intimate Drop]
[Bridge | Female Voice | Stripped | Piano Only | Intimate | Sweet]
I arrived with nothing but a garbage bag and a keyboard
And I waited for the moment
When someone would tell me to leave
But the door closed behind me
And nobody opened it again
To push me out
So I became the one
Who no longer needed to ask
