The Basement Lyrics

I take a deeper look inside

Mouth open wide

I keep it hungry, deaf, and blind

Or It will strike me from behind

Between the boards I hear it speak

Or a breath between a creak

One night I lost my little mind

And fell asleep

And when I woke I found the fucking thing

Hovering right over me

I had a key to keep it locked

Around its neck I saw it swung

I used to beat it with the clock

But now the bell has rung
