Verse
Eighteen years, a month and a half
I had the idea that the outside was bad
Crispy crackers under my feet
That’s all we ever got to eat
Told to never make a sound
As we all lived happily underground
I buried my parents in the mud
The basement is flooding, I have to run
Take a deep breath, up the stairs
But as I stand there, I break out in tears
I thought that freedom could be fun
But now I’m just too scared of the sun
Chorus
Father had a heartattack
Mother crushed by a grainsack
Now I’m left all alone
In our little basement I call home (2x)
Verse 2
The dreaded day has arrived
Now I have to kiss the basement goodbye
Blinded by the sun as i open the door
And what I see shakes me to my core
Happy children running by
No apocalypse that made everybody die
My legs give out, I start to laugh
My mental chain, it holds me back
All these years and I can’t go outside
So I crawl back and find somewhere to hide
I thought that I wanted to be free
But darkness is the only thing I bear to see
Chorus 2
(2x)
Bridge
Was it all a lie, was it all a lie, was it all a lie? (x how many times you want)
Chorus 3
I made him have a heartattack
Crushed her with a grainsack
So I’d be left all alone
In my little basement i call home (2x)
