Muph - Yesterday's Basement lyrics

[Hook] Was a war goin on in my head I wasn't ready for Whole lot that went unsaid, not anymore I kept it inside instead, no settled score Wanted to break the bread, never stepped forward War goin on in my head, wasn't ready for Whole lot that went unsaid, not anymore Kept it inside instead, no settled score Wanted to break the bread, never stepped [Verse 1] Shoved in a dark place, floor made of rodents Murmur in the heartbeat, I'm hardly outspoken But I'm up on stage with ribcage ripped open In depths like Johnny Depp, fear and loathing And I wonder if I screamed, would they hear me chokin? Short of oxygen, common man here smokin Pitch black, but watching the walls start to close in Shards of hourgla**, at last sand dune corrosion I sat and stared as the high horses rode in I could never be prepared for the hope that broke in I could smell the light as it slowly, slightly soaked in Through a tiny opening beneath the door Frightenin the rats from the floor I was captivated by the fact that there was more Than a basement to keep these secrets stored And these faces were never meant to be ignored And the hatred should've escalated when you made it yours There's a shame in the self-blame and the fake applause But this basement is spacious, a place to withdraw [Hook] [Verse 2] Distraught, pause, wonder when it all stops Like lookin down the barrel of a sawn-off Interrupted by the triple, simple, door knock Tryna tap into my very own Fort Knox Suddenly a crowbar clawed the locks off Bright light blinding and it hit the sore spot The hinges torn from the torso of where it all goes Now it's all on for anyone to walk along All exposed birthday suit at a fork in the road A warning to those close, we all have our very own ghosts From the smooth sail to the rough riding rodeo A stone's throw to going home, slowly roam free Confiding in the ones that seem to know me At first hesitant to let 'em in, self exposing See this weakness? Treat it like it's glowing Knowin that they wouldn't and they didn't, it Could've been paranoid, thinkin, sinkin through Threw in a rope and that's hope for persistence Small steps make the basement change positions [Bridge] {X3} And no matter how fast I ran, couldn't get away No matter how hard I drank, still yesterday Took me a helpin hand to get a better place
