Basement

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
