Stairwell (redux)

I had planned to do a Big Beat track this week, but it wasn't working out, decided to revisit one of my old LSDJ tracks I lost the source for and try to reimagine it on the M8.
My partner was super lovely and helped me transcribe the original which I had no idea how I had made and I am so bad at transcription.
I'm not 100% happy with it, I don't think it has the same interesting complexity as the original, and it's much less heavy.
I had written the original based on some crappy depressing lyrics but I had never made vocals for it, so I decided to use SynthV to create some new lyrics and vocals for it and really liked the sound of it, though I don't feel like my lyric writing is great.
Arranged on M8, mixed in Reaper, bass: Standard Bass Slap, vocals in Synthesizer V with Xingchen(Stardust) Infinity voicebank.
Lyrics:
Why don't you let me go
I don't wanna be around you anymore
In the stairwell I wait
Lied straight to my face and with a smile
This is my life, you're not welcome
It's a tear we cannot hope to mend
We keep fighting, neverending
It's a spiral staircase to the end
Darkened hallways, listening to your sighs
The shit that pours out is more than I can stand
Over and over you repeat your lies
Tainted memories, you created this nightmare
