[Intro] Past midnight I take the stairs [Verse 1] Cold concrete under both my soles One faulty light keeps cutting out Doors shut hard on upper floors Distant footsteps cut, then pause I count each landing, check both ways No rush in me; I pace and breathe Pressure presses, still I’m precise I hear the street through concrete walls [Chorus] I move through the cold stairwell Faulty light above my head Doors close; I don’t break my stride I stay steady, steady now [Verse 2] Fast feet retreat, then turn below The lights cut out between the floors A door shuts hard on level six My phone lights twice; I let it dim More pressure, but I stay measured My pace stays plain, no grand gesture I read each gap before I move At street level, my focus holds [Chorus] I move through the cold stairwell Faulty light above my head Doors close; I don’t break my stride I stay steady, steady now [Bridge] One breath, then two The latch clicks once I let fear pass I keep my pace [Final Chorus] I move through the cold stairwell Faulty light above my head Doors close; I don’t break my stride I stay steady, steady now I stay steady, steady now I stay steady, steady now [Outro] Footsteps stop below me One door stays half-open
