The Basement Thing
Lyrics
Before this goes any further I need to fully explain how my brain works
Up until now I've been pretending like my worst problems are that I can't get out of bed
But honestly, I'd take being cemented to the sheets over whatever goes on inside of me
I'm not alone in my head, and my vision perceives things not quite as they seem
On top of the side effects the medications bring
On top of my heart burning up in the acid in my stomach
There's a voice in the corner and I can't rid myself of it
There have been points in my life where I've tried to silence the noise
By carving it out of my wrist, drowning it with liquor, or a gun in mouth imperfectly poised
I'm addicted to the way that alcohol makes me feel
Because it's the only time I can believe that these entities aren't real
And I need them out of my head so I numb myself with drink, after drink, but instead
I throw up over, and over again
I'm opening up because I've been told that it helps
But usually I'm careful of what details I tell
My moods are euphoric, and then I want to die
And the pills do their best to help once they're inside
So tell me, after all of this sound
Do you think you're still willing to stick around?
