Concrete Ascension (Version 2)

Verse

Kick drum counts my spine like beads

Four on the floor and my ribs agree

Concrete holding steady under sneakers

Ceiling starts to feel like a canopy

Weight I carried in through the door

Melts into the low end, isn't mine anymore

Shoulders drop, my chin finds the light

Floor stays flat but I'm climbing tonight

Pre-Chorus

Feel the room stretch upward slow

Feel my sternum lead the way

Nothing lifting me but the rhythm

Nothing pulling me but the play

Chorus

Concrete ascension, rising in place

Concrete ascension, still holding space

Feet don't leave but the body's flying

Concrete ascension, no time, no space

Verse

Elbows open like wings half-caught

Knees keep bending to the same low thought

Bassline builds me a staircase of pressure

Every step is a note I forgot

Hips unlock like a door in the dark

Sternum rising to meet the mark

Floor stays solid, my breath gets thinner

Somewhere between the outer and inner

Pre-Chorus

Feel the room stretch upward slow

Feel my sternum lead the way

Nothing lifting me but the rhythm

Nothing pulling me but the play

Chorus

Concrete ascension, rising in place

Concrete ascension, still holding space

Feet don't leave but the body's flying

Concrete ascension, no time, no space

Bridge

No wings, no ladder, no chariot

Just the floor and what it's carrying

Every kick a rung I'm reaching

Every breath a height I'm keeping

Chorus

Concrete ascension, rising in place

Concrete ascension, still holding space

Feet don't leave but the body's flying

Concrete ascension, no time, no space
