Skylar Kergil - Basements Lyrics
"Don't let it out - if you hold it in only truth will come from your mouth."And I wear these scarsLike badges, like ribbons, like 'Hey, this is who we are. 'The tide told me if you cross this bridge it will lead you to the seaBut all that's left is landIt's hard to believe but these books say we are sinkingAnd in the basements we sawThat god didn't care -They let our friends be pushed so deep beyond any repairAnd if it's a heavy hope, you better hold it closeAnd don't ever let it goSo now take all you know - and show it to the kids who need it the mostWith forty percent oppressed and taking lives that were never spentAnd in the basements we sawThat god didn't care -They put our friends down in a world far from fairAnd if it's a heavy hope, you better hold it closeAnd don't ever let it goAll the maps ever drawn are slipping through the lines like decaying songsEverything always changes -The tide, these scars, these suicides, the lack of rights and the basement nights'Cause in the basements we saw that god didn't care.They let our friends be pushed so deep beyond any repairAnd if it's a heavy hope, you better hold it closeUntil the day you let it all goAnd so now, let it out'Cause if you hold it in only lies will come from your mouth
