Basement Lyrics by Covey

Some Cats Live, Some Cats Die

0

[Verse]
Your eyes are painted red, just to show your rage
As the man with the sharp teeth bites down on your brain
Point me to your grave, that's where you’ll play guitar
With a gun to your head and a flame in your heart

They keep you in the basement with no one you can hurt
One more chain 'round your leg and twelve rips in your shirt
And now you're counting down ’til mother is dead
Like the rest of the world you detested for so long

[Chorus]
They don't tell you not to try
They just wear you down
As you run your fingers along the marked wall
That you chipped and inscribed
With the thoughts you could never let go

[Bridge]
And you're shaking your arm just to stay awake
As you're getting grey hairs at age twenty-two
You've been counting the hours down today
'Cause you know that you've got just one chance to escape all of this

[Chorus]
They don't tell you not to try
They just wear you down
As you run your fingers along the marked wall
That you chipped and inscribed
With the thoughts you could never let go
