歌詞

Counting every step from floor to floor

Same gray walls I’ve seen before

Coffee in my hand, shoes untied

Rushing but I never seem to arrive

Numbers spiral on the rail

All my plans begin to fail

Every landing looks the same

Different day, repeating frame

On this nowhere staircase, running in my head

Up and down in circles, chasing what I said

On this nowhere staircase, never reaching ground

Every step is louder, but I make no sound

Posters peeling off the concrete spine

Faces fading out of line

Messages I meant to send last year

Echo in the stairwell air I breathe in here

Once I thought the top was real

Somewhere I could finally feel

But the higher that I go

More I see I just don’t know

On this nowhere staircase, running in my head

Up and down in circles, chasing what I said

On this nowhere staircase, never reaching ground

Every step is louder, but I make no sound

Maybe there’s a door I never saw

Hidden in the crack along the wall

Maybe if I miss a step on purpose now

I’ll fall into a life that finally figures out

If I stop and change the pace

Skip a stair and leave this place

Let the pattern break apart

Will it catch my knocking heart?

From this nowhere staircase, I am stepping wide

Off the lines that kept me always stuck inside

From this nowhere staircase, I am breaking down

Every falling heartbeat finally makes a sound
