Fallen Upstairs by Static Theory feat. Callum Reyes

[Intro — warped clean guitar notes, low synth pulse, wobbly turntable scratches, loose drum hits; whispered melodic vocals] I fell upstairs I don't know how The room is spinning And I'm on the ground [Verse 1 — Callum; gritty distorted guitar, staggering live drums, pulsing synth bass, unsteady turntable cuts; woozy, confessional vocals] It started with a bottle passed around a crowded room I said I'd only take a sip, I said I'd be home soon But soon became an hour and an hour became a blur And now I'm sitting on the stairs and I don't know where I am My friends are somewhere laughing, or maybe they're not here The music's way too loud and I can't think and I can't hear I tried to climb the staircase but my legs were made of smoke And gravity decided it was time to tell a joke I grabbed the rail, I missed the step, I landed on my back And now the ceiling's spinning and the world is turning black [Pre-Chorus — Leo; guitar swells unevenly, drums stagger, synth rises, turntable filter sweep; queasy melodic vocals] Maybe I drank too much Maybe I went too far Maybe I'm just a kid Who forgot who they are [Chorus — Leo with Callum harmonies; heavy slurred guitars, crashing live drums, swirling synth layers, disorienting turntable textures; powerful, woozy vocals] Fallen upstairs, and I can't get down Fallen upstairs, and I can't make a sound Fallen upstairs, and the floor won't stay Fallen upstairs, I'm gonna pay Fallen upstairs, and my head is loud Fallen upstairs, in a faceless crowd Fallen upstairs, I don't know my name Fallen upstairs, and it's all the same [Verse 2 — Callum; syncopated palm-muted guitar, heavy half-time drums, dark synth arpeggio, turntable stutters; raw, unsteady vocals] I remember shouting something that I didn't mean I remember someone's face turning red then turning green I remember knocking over something that was not mine And I remember thinking everything was fine But it wasn't, it never is, it never really was I was just too far gone to see the damage that I caused The neighbors must have called because I heard the sirens wail And someone said the EEA was coming down the trail So I stumbled to the back door, tried to disappear But I fell upstairs instead and now I'm lying here [Pre-Chorus — Leo; rising distorted guitars, stronger drums, swelling synth, turntable rewind; desperate melodic vocals] Maybe I drank too much Maybe I went too far Maybe I'm just a kid Who forgot who they are [Chorus — Leo with Callum harmonies; crushing distorted guitars, crashing live drums, thick synth layers, rapid turntable scratches; powerful, woozy vocals] Fallen upstairs, and I can't get down Fallen upstairs, and I can't make a sound Fallen upstairs, and the floor won't stay Fallen upstairs, I'm gonna pay Fallen upstairs, and my head is loud Fallen upstairs, in a faceless crowd Fallen upstairs, I don't know my name Fallen upstairs, and it's all the same [Guitar Solo — woozy melodic guitar solo with slurred bends, staggering runs, off-kilter harmonics and sustained feedback; stumbling live drums, wobbling synth bass and erratic turntable scratches] [Bridge — Callum; clean guitar arpeggios, sparse drums gradually building, distant synth atmosphere, turntable vinyl crackle; soft, regretful vocals] I don't want to be this kid The one who wakes up sick and shamed The one who can't remember what he did The one who has to be unnamed I want to go back to before Before the bottle touched my lips Before I fell asleep on floors Before I lost myself like this [Breakdown — low guitar chugs, pounding half-time live drums, distorted synth bass, sharp turntable cuts; intense shouted vocals] I'M NOT INVINCIBLE! I'M NOT OKAY! I DIDN'T KNOW THAT IT WOULD END THIS WAY! I'M JUST A KID! I MADE A MISTAKE! AND NOW I'M PRAYING THAT I STILL CAN WAKE! [Final Chorus — Leo with Callum harmonies; massive guitars, huge live drums, soaring synth, frantic turntable scratches; fierce, sobering vocals] Fallen upstairs, but I'm getting up Fallen upstairs, and I've had enough Fallen upstairs, I'm not proud of me Fallen upstairs, but I'm finally free Fallen upstairs, and I'll learn from this Fallen upstairs, and I won't dismiss Fallen upstairs, I'll be better someday Fallen upstairs, but I'll find my way [Outro — fading warped guitar harmonics, soft synth pulse, restrained live drums, turntable scratches slowing to silence; whispered melodic vocals] Fallen upstairs Never again Fallen upstairs This is where it ends Fallen upstairs I'll do better Fallen upstairs Starting over
