Basement Manners - Mixtapes

I’ll keep them here, lonely in my head

Maybe in a year I’ll find some chords worthwhile

Or a good friend

Where are your good friends?

I like this car when it’s half an hour from home

The gas station’s all closed tonight

The dark in the van is keeping me feeling safe

It’s my nice excuse to leave

When you just try to keep me down

Next show I’ll play this extra loud

And hope you pile on a mic if we’re cool enough tonight

It’s tough to stay or go

Because no matter what, you know, you’re violating some code

I guess I need to learn self-righteous is a title earned

And still thrives in basements

I should have left when you just turned and shut me out

Entry fee is what it’s all about

Please dive and grab for the mic so I can be cool tonight

We’re watching our mouths

We’re tweaking our sound

We’re getting closer now

We’re closing our mouths

We’re upgrading our sound

Are we getting closer now?
