Basement Lyrics

He got left alone in the basement room

Felt like he couldn't make a move

Truth being thrown from left to right

Poor boy had to pick a fight

The stranger living up the stairs

Was always givin' him the stare

This newcomer always had a bad wrap

Was so afraid to make him crack

I wanted you to make a sound

But this time you're not around

I just want to make you proud

And now I sit here on the ground all

Night, hoping all will be alright

You hid your cigs in my boots

You tell me I'm fine and I should stick to my roots

Your guilts on the walls I watched the rose-pedals fall

The spiders keep crawling back to where you had gone

Stuffed away with the backseat boys

Always telling me to turn down the noise

Another brother and a soon to be friend

I guess it wasn't all that bad in the end

I wanted you to make a sound

But this time you're not around

I just want to make you proud

And now I sit here on the ground all

Night, hoping all will be alright

I watched you walk

I tried to talk

I couldn't understand

Why you had turned so bad

Your shadows been eating away at my soul

You're making it harder to be alone

The bed that we made gave me splinters at night

From tossing and turning to feel alright

Reality's twisted by their tongues

The Chaos of conflict tore down my lungs

In spite of all this I was happy to see

That everything that happened was meant to be
