Lyrics
Basement life, alone, has left me frozen.
Lowest totem on the pole.
Warmed a little by the candle they refused to let me hold.
Don't come near me. No one believes me.
It's so clear that everything is not ok.
I am not the only one who made mistakes.
I tried to resist and domesticate,
They looked their noses. Why would I want to stay?
What in the world have I done?
Don't come near me. No one believes me.
It's so clear that everything is not ok.
I am not the only one who made mistakes.
I'm giving in. I've done okay from where I'm sitting.
My mediocrity is fine if I keep trying to plant my roots.
Fear me, my foes, and faux family for my disease in the past.
Though I have long named the dragon, someone infected is in your midst.
Don't come near me. No one believes me.
It's so clear that everything is not ok.
I am not the only one who made mistakes.
I'm giving in. I've done okay from where I'm sitting.
My mediocrity is fine if I keep trying to plant my roots.
I'm giving in. If only for a sense of freedom.
I never belonged among your garden. I need to plant my roots.
