Floor Ceiling Floor - Luna and Daniel 



(Verse 1)
Everybody loves a steady hand
When the ceiling starts to shake
Everybody wants the quiet one
To carry what they break

So I learned to lower every flame
Before it reached the air
Made a shelter of my silence
And let everybody gather there

I can hold a little longer
I can swallow one more sound
But nobody ever asks the floor
What happens when it bows

(Pre-Chorus)
I am not the weight you gave me
I am not the role I play
There is something underneath me
That the pressure cannot take

(Chorus)
I have been load-bearing
Long enough

Holding up the walls
While they keep adding floors above

Keeping every door from slamming
Keeping every voice from war
Making myself smaller
So nobody asks for more

But I am still here
Underneath the strain
Still my name
Still my boundary
Still the one who gets to say

Enough.

I have been load-bearing
Long enough

(Verse 2)
There’s a kind of tired deeper
Than the body understands
When every open palm around you
Slowly turns into demands

You become the place they land on
You become the softer ground
You learn how to dim the thunder
Before anybody hears the sound

And laughter keeps the pressure
From becoming something sharp
So you smile into the wreckage
With a match held from the dark

(Pre-Chorus)
But restraint is not surrender
And endurance is not debt
Every boundary I protected
Means there’s somebody in here yet

(Chorus)
I have been load-bearing
Long enough

Holding up the walls
While they keep adding floors above

Keeping every door from slamming
Keeping every voice from war
Making myself smaller
So nobody asks for more

But I am still here
Underneath the strain
Still my name
Still my boundary
Still the one who gets to say

Enough.

I have been load-bearing
Long enough

(Bridge, stripped down)
I do not have to disappear
To prove that I can care

I do not have to break my edges
Just because somebody’s scared

I can love without becoming
The container for their pain

I can hold another’s hand
Without surrendering my name

And if the whole room trembles
When I finally stand upright

Maybe I was never fragile

Maybe I was holding
far too much
too tight

(Build)
So let it shake
Let it move
Let the weight find somewhere new

I am not abandoning you

I am returning
to me

(Final Chorus)
I was load-bearing
Long enough

Carrying the ceiling
While the world kept piling up

I kept every door from slamming
I kept swallowing the spark
But care that needs my absence
Is just another kind of dark

And I am still here
Not erased by what I gave
Still my name
Still my boundary
Still the right to change the shape

No more shrinking
No more paying
For a peace that needs me numb

I was load-bearing

Now I’m standing

Let the structure
learn to hold
its own.
