The light’s flickering. Or maybe it’s just yellow today. The stairs don’t creak anymore. Everyone’s already inside. We stay by the wall. I’ve got a pile of paint chips near my foot. I’m trying not to crush them. There’s a draft that smells like wet cardboard. I keep my knees pulled in. The floor’s colder than it looks. Someone said don’t touch the window. So I don’t touch it. I guess we’re safe if nothing clicks If the pipes don’t give us up Basement angels counting breath Learning how to.... look like less Hold me like glass Don’t look too fast We don’t shatter loud We crack and last Halos low.... wings kept small.... Heaven forgot this level exists If we’re saved it won’t be loud Basement angels still around There’s a bucket catching something I don’t want to know what it is Someone’s counting the stripes on the wallpaper over and over, till they disappear My shoulder sticks to the mattress vinyl it makes that sound when I move I thought wings were for getting out but they just get in the way I guess we’re safe if nothing clicks If the pipes don’t give us up Basement angels counting breath Learning how to.... look like less Hold me like glass Don’t look too fast We don’t shatter loud We crack and last Halos low.... wings kept small.... Heaven forgot this level exists If we’re saved it won’t be loud Basement angels still around I’m not explaining the chains or the feathers or why nobody comes down here You can sit or you can leave Well, I guess sitting feels easier than finding the stairs again Basement angels ( ... ) Basement angels ( ... ) Basement angels ( ... ) ( ... ) counting breath breath breath breath Basement angels ( ... ) ( ... ) counting breath breath breath breath Hold me like ( ... ) glass We crack and last Basement angels ( ... ) The light cuts out I don’t get up [Words by Noizgenie.
