[Intro – distant hum, elevator cable creak] No bell rang No number showed The doors just opened Thirteen floors below [Verse 1] The light flickered once, then stayed Like it knew I wouldn’t turn away Mirrors cracked but didn’t lie Just showed me what I left behind The air felt wrong, too still to breathe Like something stopped and waited for me I checked the sign above the door It didn’t count like before [Pre-Chorus – subtle rise, no low-end emphasis] No ground floor No ceiling too The math fell apart when I stepped through [Chorus – restrained, wide, suspended] Thirteen floors below Where the numbers fold Where the rules dissolve And the silence holds No up, no down No way to know How far you fall Thirteen floors below [Verse 2 – minimal rhythm, distant echoes] Footsteps echoed out of time Each one sounded less like mine The walls leaned in but never touched Like I’d already given up A voice whispered without a sound Said, “You’re past the last safe count” I turned back once — the doors were gone Like I’d been standing there too long [Pre-Chorus – thinning texture, breath forward] No exit sign No warning tone Just a place that counts you On its own [Chorus – wider space, restrained low end] Thirteen floors below Where the numbers fold Where the rules dissolve And the silence holds No up, no down No way to know How far you fall Thirteen floors below [Bridge – stripped, almost spoken, ambient only] I swear I heard the cables snap But nothing fell — just space collapsed If there was a bell, it never rang If there was a choice, it slipped my hand [Final Chorus – hollow, widening but thinning] Thirteen floors below Past reason, past control Every step erased the role I thought I played, I thought I knew This place remembers me — not you No ground, no crown No afterglow Just where you land Thirteen floors below [Outro – high-pass filtered ambience, distant ventilation hum] No bell rang No number showed The doors stayed open Thirteen floors below
