Basement

I know I promised if the ground shakes

That it wouldn't be an earthquake

But no train has left the station

And no other explanation

So now you're analyzing fault lines

And convincing yourself of past lies

Should I break our vow of silence

And scream, "Get out of the basement"

I know I promised we would never

Have to talk about the weather

Just to fill the air between us

Never dreamed that we would need it

But the lightning and the thunder

Sometimes make me wonder

If I should break our vow of silence

And scream, "Get down to the basement"

I can see the funnel right outside

But I'm too tired to hide

Yeah, I'm too tired to hide

The funnel's right outside

But I'm too tired to hide

I excuse this one exception

As emergency protection

But now we're bored and underground

Making noises for the background

And our only entertainment

Is staring at the foundation

And wondering if that step crack

Is something we created

I can the the funnel right outside

But I'm too tired to hide

Yeah, I'm too tired to hide

The funnel's right outside

But I'm too tired to hide

Was it something we created?
