Adam Linder - The Basement Manifesto lyrics

Sometimes it's better underground There's less chance that I'll be found For if they find me, they'll decry me once again And I wouldn't show my face No I would never leave this place For there's a danger with no shape and with no shame I wouldn't go outside No I would never risk my pride The earth would still spin, and the sun would stay in the sky The earth would still spin, and the sun would stay in the sky So forgive me if I seem Like I don't want to be seen It's the truth, there's no real underlying meaning And I will not cast a shadow It doesn't matter though, cause I know There's six more weeks of winter, bleakness either way So I think that I will stay here till it's safe It's days like this there's a pain inside my head And It's a miracle I make it out of bed There's just certain people I I don't think I can supply With common courtesy, with patience, or a smile And I'm having to do without The kind of respect we're taught about If you have nothing nice to say, then shut your god damn mouth If you have nothing nice to say then shut your god damn mouth So forgive me if I seem To speak in the obscene There's just a point where tolerance tends not to mean Anything at all Like that phone number you never called When your only friend turns out to be the wall Live together, stand alone, you'll fall It's days like this That there's no pa**ing of time And each breath that leaves my throat Could leave me dying When the cold becomes too much for me to bare And it takes more strength than I've got for me to care So forgive me if I tend To exaggerate the extent Of my self-loathing and all of my regrets It's just it seems so real to me It's like I'm writing an autobiography But the ending I have yet to figure out I just hope that I'll look back and say I'm proud.
