Basement in Indiana

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Let's go back to Indiana circa 1983 Just four boys in the basement chillin' playin' D&D There was Lucas, there was Willy Will and Dustin, there was a Mike But one night, Will goes missing while he’s ridin' on his bike Yikes! That's when they met me, Elev' I had no hair on my head I had been so close to dead Courtesy of Dr. Brenner who's huntin' me twenty-four sev' Joyce was hanging Christmas lights in the web Started hearing something Willy had said This could be a message from the beyond What h [Pre-Chorus] What hovers in the dark? What won't let go? One little spark And the whole room knows [Chorus] This could be a message from the beyond Say my name, and I’m not gone This could be a message from the beyond Hold on tight, hold on strong Message from the beyond Message from the beyond [Verse 2] A scratch on the wall and a flicker in the hall Tiny footsteps tapping when the blackouts call Mike kept faith like a match in the rain Dustin talking fast, trying to map out the pain Lucas on the lookout, heart in his throat Willy's voice in the static, hidden in the note Joyce sees the clues where the others see none A mother don’t quit when her son is gone [Pre-Chorus] What hovers in the dark? What won't let go? One little spark And the whole room knows [Chorus] This could be a message from the beyond Say my name, and I’m not gone This could be a message from the beyond Hold on tight, hold on strong Message from the beyond Message from the beyond [Bridge] If the wall starts breathing, don't look away If the night gets louder, we’re gonna stay I found the door in the blur and the red Every little warning running through my head You hear that hum? It’s calling us back A trail of clues in a torn-up map We go together when the shadows crawl Four boys, one light, and we risk it all [Final Chorus] This could be a message from the beyond Say my name, and I’m not gone This could be a message from the beyond Hold on tight, hold on strong This could be a message from the beyond Message from the beyond Message from the beyond
