Basement Parties

When you wake up on your face on the bedroom carpet

Count back all the ways that you ended up there

You can't remember someone else's story

You can't remember that you don't feel sorry

Get up, get out -- the lines are gone, with the green you're leaving

I don't mind silence, I don't mind sitting

I can be quiet, I wish you could hear me

You go back, you repeat, trace the veins that you don't want to see

With your hands, in your hair -- don't leave your fingers buried

Do you think that we could try forgetting

The places we've gone with the ceiling spinning

Slow down until we stop

We have to steal this night back

I don't mind silence, I don't mind sitting

I can be quiet, I wish you could hear me

I'm tired of going to these basement parties

Everybody wants to leave their body

I'm hiding in the bathroom with no witness

Speaking through the door about some sickness

I don't mind silence, I don't mind sitting

I can be quiet, I wish you could hear me

I don't mind silence, I don't mind sitting

I'm keeping the quiet, I wish you could hear me
