Skylar Kergil - Basements lyrics

"Don't let it out - if you hold it in only truth will come from your mouth." And I wear these scars Like badges, like ribbons, like 'Hey, this is who we are. ' The tide told me if you cross this bridge it will lead you to the sea But all that's left is land It's hard to believe but these books say we are sinking And in the basements we saw That god didn't care - They let our friends be pushed so deep beyond any repair And if it's a heavy hope, you better hold it close And don't ever let it go So now take all you know - and show it to the kids who need it the most With forty percent oppressed and taking lives that were never spent And in the basements we saw That god didn't care - They put our friends down in a world far from fair And if it's a heavy hope, you better hold it close And don't ever let it go All the maps ever drawn are slipping through the lines like decaying songs Everything always changes - The tide, these scars, these suicides, the lack of rights and the basement nights 'Cause in the basements we saw that god didn't care. They let our friends be pushed so deep beyond any repair And if it's a heavy hope, you better hold it close Until the day you let it all go And so now, let it out 'Cause if you hold it in only lies will come from your mouth
