lyrics

I had a dream that everyone who’d ever seen me naked
Was out in the crowd, milling around, looking impatient
I couldn’t think, I couldn’t talk, I wanted to get wasted
But I couldn’t drink enough to do the job on these SSRIs

It felt like a knife
So you know I’m going off the rails tonight

Fears are what we see in dreams
I don’t know how to surf the scene
I don’t know nothing
Full of nerves and wondering
If these skeletons with septum rings
Have caught me bluffing

Most of the time I look at people and I just see humans
But I freak out a bit depending on how crowded the room is
(And I realize we all have skeletons inside of us)
Hell is a basement full of halloween costumes that go on for miles
Wrapped up in skin and ironic slogan t-shirts and lopsided smiles

And mostly all white
So you know I’m going off the rails tonight

Fears are what we see in dreams
I don’t know how to surf the scene
I don’t know nothing
Full of nerves and wondering
If these skeletons with septum rings
Have caught me bluffing

Bodies adjacent
Sweating and vacant
Dull and complacent
Hell is a basement

So come on, get naked
And why not get wasted?
Drink up and face it
Hell is a basement
