IN THE BASEMENT OF MY FRIEND, THIS IS WHERE A JOURNEY MET ITS END
THROUGH THE WINDOW IS WHERE I WOULD SEND MYSELF INWARD AND OUTWARD
TO A WORLD WHERE SKIES SEEMED SO LIMITLESS

WHEN I LURKED IN THE BASEMENT, WHILE MY FRIEND WAS EXPANDING
I FIND MYSELF CONTRACTING
BUT AS I RETREAT, I LOOK UP AND I SEE LIMITS IN THE CEILING

THE CEILING WAS MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THE SKY FOR ME
HOPES WERE OBTAINABLE AND FAITH WASN'T NECESSARY
I COULD TOUCH THE CEILING AND KNOW THAT I HAD REACHED THE TOP

THE CEILING WAS A PLACE I WOULD GET LOST IN
IF IT WASN'T THAT, I'D GET LOST IN MYSELF
WHEN I LOOK UP, I DON'T HAVE ANY DOUBT

LIFE WAS SO SIMPLE
I DIDN'T HAVE A LOT TO LOOK FORWARD TO
ALL I DID WAS TRY TO GO UP WHEN REALLY I WAS GOING DOWN

IN THE BASEMENT OF MY FRIEND IS WHERE I USED TO GO
AND NOW IN THE BASEMENT OF MY MIND IS WHERE I GO
FRIENDSHIP IS MY WINDOW OUT
