Basement Door

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Uh uh uh uh uh I keep the blinds shut tight My phone face down all night Got that static in my chest And it never lets me rest Hands on the knob, I freeze Footsteps drag through the leaves Something calls my name again From the crack inside my head [Pre-Chorus] I try to count to ten But the walls keep leaning in If I run, it follows close Tells me what I fear the most [Chorus] Trying to escape Trying to escape The voices in my head The voices in my head Trying to escape Trying to escape Say my name, then fade Say my name, then fade [Verse 2] I bite down on my tongue Till the taste turns dry and young Mirror shows a stranger's face Saying I should leave this place I grab air like it could hold Something warm against the cold But the echo knows my steps Every breath I ever kept [Pre-Chorus] I try to count to ten But the walls keep leaning in If I run, it follows close Tells me what I fear the most [Chorus] Trying to escape Trying to escape The voices in my head The voices in my head Trying to escape Trying to escape Say my name, then fade Say my name, then fade [Bridge] If I break, then let me break If I shake, then let me shake I don't need another war I just need a quiet door [Final Chorus] Trying to escape Trying to escape The voices in my head The voices in my head Trying to escape Trying to escape Say my name, then fade Say my name, then fade
