Basement Ceiling Lyrics

Deep cuts and bright lights hang above me

Staring at the basement ceiling

Trying to find a way

To reach them

The sickening empty promise of success

Shackled to the ankle of progress

Feeding on their weakness

Shouting out the words you condemn

We don't know what's scaring us to death

But it's keeping us from taking the next breath

I'm sure I'll be alright

I'm done staring at you're brake-lights

And making up for lost time

And I'll live with this disease

And it'll fade with the autumn breeze

I'm sure some day I'll see daylight

And I don't know where you've run off to

But you're not running through my head

We don't know what's scaring us to death

But it's keeping us from taking the next breath

I'm sure I'll be alright

I'm done staring at you're brake-lights

And making up for lost time

And I'll live with this disease

And it'll fade with the autumn breeze

I'm sure someday I'll see daylight
