Another Staircase

[Intro: ascending synth staircase]
(up-up, never done)
[808 pulse in odd meter]

[Verse 1: syncopated melodic rap]
I climbed a hundred steps to find this view
Built a little heaven painted blue
Everything I wanted waits inside
But there's another staircase on the side
(higher, higher)

[Pre-Chorus: climbing falsetto]
Every landing feels like home
Until I see the steps unknown

[Chorus: soaring ascending melody]
There's always another floor
Another window, another door
I swear this time I'll settle down
Then hear another staircase sound
(ah-ah-ah, going up!)
If happiness is where I stand
Why do I keep reaching with my hands?

[Drop: pitched chops, rising bass]
(up-up, more-more!)
[Glitch breakbeat, melodic cowbell]

[Bridge: beat drops, whispered]
I'm tired of climbing toward the sun
And calling every landing incomplete
What if the highest floor I find
Still leaves a staircase in my mind?

[Outro: descending harmonies]
The view is perfect...
Why am I looking up?
