Don't Go In The Basement

*(Verse 1)* Oh, you can weave a tale, under chandeliers bright In the old conservatory, dancing shadows in the light Whispers of a story where secrets intertwine But heed my warning now; don't cross that line *(Chorus)* You can spin your dreams on the mezzanine Laughing with the echoes where everything feels clean But oh, don’t go in the basement! Where darkness lays its claim, and the fears are never tamed *(Verse 2)* You can fill your heart with static from a radio’s hum With ghosts in the attic playing songs that leave you numb Light a fire on the porch and watch those flames ignite But down below is chaos—it's not worth the fright! *(Chorus)* You can ride that banister like some wild-eyed fool Soaring through illusions where nothing’s ever cruel But oh, don’t go in the basement! Where shadows stretch their arms and dreams begin to tarnish *(Bridge)* If you're drawn to danger like moths to a flame Devils dance in corners whispering your name A riddle wrapped in mystery—echoes of despair— Just step away from trouble; it waits for you down there! *(Chorus)* You can play rummy up high on that rooftop thrill Feeling so aloof as time begins to stand still But oh, don’t go in the basement! Where regrets come alive and haunt what once felt vibrant *(Verse 3)* Underneath it all lies romance painted black— While cockroaches waltz along an old rusty track And maybe ducks ride elevators dressed for a show But remember this truth: there’s nowhere safe to go! *(Final Chorus)* So share your stories loud from every room tonight— Sway beneath those stars until dawn brings new light But oh please don’t go in the basement! Where nightmares take their toll and hope fades into silence *(Outro)* Yes, you can tell tales of lions prowling free— Dancing through conservatories where shadows cease to be... But whatever you do when curiosity's statement... Don't go… don’t go… please don't go… In…the basement!
