THE FOURTEENTH FLOOR

Hides her face in every photograph and lets the voice do all of it

vex on it

the floor

Honest use case: People who feel unseen and are quietly enduring, but who don't necessarily want to hear about a path to overcoming it.

Exhibit:And that is the one hour of the day I don't have to be about

lyrics

There's a stairwell in the building where nobody ever goes
Fourteenth floor, no offices, they never fitted out
And I sit there in my lunch hour where the strip light doesn't show
And that is the one hour of the day I don't have to be about

And they think I go for lunch. I've never once had lunch.
I've had a stairwell and a wall for about four years.

The fourteenth floor, the fourteenth floor, and nobody comes up
There's a bucket and a ladder and a window nobody cleans
The fourteenth floor, the fourteenth floor, and I've never once given up
I just do it in a stairwell where there isn't anyone to see

Somebody from facilities found me there in May
He said "you all right?" I said "yeah." He went away.

The fourteenth floor, the fourteenth floor, and nobody comes up
There's a bucket and a ladder and a window nobody cleans
The fourteenth floor, the fourteenth floor, and I've never once given up
I just do it in a stairwell where there isn't anyone to see

(he went away)
