BASEMENT

Step down Step down the steps Down the stairs as dark as it gets Step down Step down the steps Down the stairs as dark as it gets All the red has worn to rose Breathing dust underneath the world All the red has worn to rose In the dust underneath the world

Down in the Basement the light has changed My dark is light and the shadows are stained Down in the basement the light has changed

Now the moon is rising down Now the curtains part My hands begin to move again My eyes swallow the dark

Finally I am coming to you I reach out my hands go through you Finally I am coming to you I reach out my hands go through you The gray walls are leaning in In the paleness of the wind All the giants are leaning in In the paleness of the wind

Down in the Basement the light has changed My dark is light and the shadows are stained Down in the basement the light has changed

Now the moon is rising down Now the curtains part My hands begin to move again My eyes swallow the dark

Light drips from between the bricks Is it morning or something like it Light drips from between the bricks IS IT MORNING OR SOMETHING LIKE IT

Down in the Basement the light has changed My dark is light and the shadows are stained Down in the basement the light has changed Now the moon is rising down Now the curtains part My hands begin to move again My eyes swallow the dark
