Duration: P00H04M51S
Description: Basement Dweller is an exploration of the darkness beneath us. It's about feeling stuck in a low place and just existing there a while. It's about growth and self-discovery. We hope you find some light in this dark song, and if you feel stuck down in the basement, just know you're not alone and that in time, when you are ready, you will come up.

lyrics

When you’re a basement dweller, and there is no light,
Well It’s hard to see the good in life.

And when you’re a basement dweller, it gets hard to see,
That there is some light inside of me.

When your a basement dweller, you’re underneath the life,
With the coolness of summer and the cold at night.

And when you’re a basement dweller, you learn to adapt.
I’m going through changes and that’s that.

And now I finally know where you’re coming from.
