[Verse — IDM, 9/8] First floor, sugar on my tongue Second floor, a shopping run Third floor, someone holding me For half a breath, I'm finally free [Pre-Chorus] The numbers glow, the doors unfold I swear this ride won't end below [Chorus — melodic prog] Going up! (Going down!) A thousand floors above the ground Every button promises To mend the little things I miss But every ride returns me here To the empty floor I fear (Ding, ding, going down) [Verse 2 — syncopated bass] I tell myself I'll take the stairs But there's a button waiting there [Outro — whispered] The basement opens, cold and wide I press the button one more time
