The Seventh Floor

from Swaddled in Gloaming by Lewis Mullen

about

There are people we meet throughout our lives who leave an indelible impression, not through shocking or hurting us, but by being a solid but unassuming presence, one who holds a community of friends together. A lynchpin, if you will.

Everyone is valid, we’re all just living our lives. If this bothers you, “touch grass” as some say, or pay a visit to the seventh floor, where the witch has just baked some cookies.

Oh and by the way, the witch's name is in the song. Can you find it?

lyrics

Here’s to the witch on the seventh floor
The silver moon hangs above their door
You’ll find your centre find your core
In shades of petrichor
On the seventh floor
On the seventh floor

In the allotment tending the marrows
On their shoulder settles a sparrow
And sings as love is reaped and heaped in the barrow

So
Here’s to the witch on the seventh floor
The silver moon hangs above their door
You’ll find your centre find your core
In shades of petrichor
On the seventh floor
On the seventh floor

It’s wyrd what you can find
When you’re looking for yourself
Oh mirror in the sky
Please send a friend to help

One evening in their apartment
From a chest they drew a compartment
And read my cards as five familiars purred in contentment

So
Here’s to the witch on the seventh floor
The silver moon hangs above their door
You’ll find your centre find your core
In shades of petrichor
On the seventh floor
On the seventh floor

I write the kind of music I'd like to listen to, and I hope you enjoy listening to it to. It's a window into a slightly different world that's a more honest mirror of our own
