I creak and shatter beneath me
On pins and needles believe me
Beasts and shadows beneath me
Shrink and shudder believe me

I can't see with my eyes shut
In the basement

I wish for something to blind me
To ask or maybe remind me
Well it speaks to my brain that we're all just the same
And it wants to get out but I can't let it out

I can't see with my eyes shut
In the basement

I bring a garden to life
And tend unto it strife
Well I scream and I shout and I flail all about
But I'll never get out no I'll never get out

I can't see with my eyes shut
In the basement

I can't see with my eyes open wide
