[Verse 1: GAWNE]
What if I told you?
There's plenty of days, where you're gonna go through
Hell?
But, I hope you're well, now
That you overcame that hell house
Went from hellbound, to a freed slave
Had to leave the chains
And go reclaim those sweepstakes
What a mean game, that we play
I never wanted, what I became
See, we may never leave alive
D-Day, yeah, we may die
I pray my soul will fly
Say goodbye
Close my еyes
Spread my wings
Go so high
I think, I'm always gon' be trappеd, in the basement
Never gonna leave the pain
You wanna talk about hope, me and you, we don't see the same
I don't really wanna re-explain, this heated exchange
Recommend leavin', I'll lead the way
Otherwise, get beat today, 'til you got a fuckin' bleedin' brain
I don't play, when I'm heated too angry, you may wanna beat it
I pray for the day, that my name is deleted, ah
What they really gonna say, now?
I've been in the basement, way down
Tryna disappear from the world
Shed a tear for the girls that I hurt, when it played out, ah
I'll be better by tomorrow, though
Otherwise I'll put the clip, into my fucking pistol
Put it to my brain, 'cause I become a fuckin' marter, yo
[Chorus: Atlus]
Got everything that I dreamed of, but I need more
I'm still feelin empty
(Still feelin' empty)
Now It's much worse than before
(Much worse than before)
I thought the music would save me, but I need more
My heart isn't changin'
(My heart isn't changin')
Part of me's feelin' vacant
I think, I'm always gon' be trapped in the basement

[Verse 2: Enkay47]
I'm not intimidated
Got a problem, I eliminate it
Honestly, I feel exhilerated
On pen and paper, I'ma demonstrate it
My apartment is incinerated
I don't know if I can renovate it
Take the pain, and I obliterate it
It's mitigated
Yeah, I've been livin' in the basement
I don't feel safe with
Myself, and these manifestations
My hesistation made me complacent
Now I feel like, I can never escape this
Damnit, I hate this, I'm not okay with
Myself, and the shit that I made
This isn't same as what I envisioned
When I was a kid, and was dealin with pain
Shh, wait
Do you hear the footsteps
Walk above me, on the top floor?
Look at myself, in the mirror
Talkin' to myself like, it's not yours
I'm not sure, remember the journal
That we used to keep, in the sock drawer?
'Cause you couldn't tell anybody
The shit, you were dealin' with
Damn, can I get an encore?
'Cause, the shit that I'm dealin' with is entertainin'
Yesterday, I just had a conversation
With someone that inspired me, to make this
This isn't the song, that I wanted to play
I'm not okay, this trauma's got me enslaved
I don't think that I could ever escape it
Lately, I feel like I'm wastin' my life
By livin' my life in the basement
[Chorus: Atlus]
Got everything that I dreamed of, but I need more
I'm still feelin empty
(Still feelin' empty)
Now It's much worse than before
(Much worse than before)
I thought the music would save me, but I need more
My heart isn't changin'
(My heart isn't changin')
Part of me's feelin' vacant
I think, I'm always gon' be trapped in the basement

[Outro: Atlus]
I think, I'm always gon' be trapped, in the basement
Trapped in the basment

(Pendo made it)
