about

Sometimes I miss my parent's basement

If only it weren't in stittsville

I was honestly just trying to write a Replacements/Beach Slang style song

lyrics

Grew up in the basement
stared at the walls
loved every moment
of it all
play my guitar now
say hi to the crowd
I played my records
I play them real loud

show up at the basement
feels just like home
get into the circle
it rattles all my goddamn bones
feel so alive now
it gets hard to breath
that doesn't matter
at least I feel free

get out of the basement
been out too long
you talkin to me?
that feels so wrong

up on the second floor
thin walls and locked doors
watching the volume of the amp
and the volume of the voices

grew up in the basement
lived there my whole goddamn life
