Beyond the basement There lives a girl there She's got a face and a lot of hair Respond to places Remember they said To watch your back but you don"t care She's only evil We've dealt with much more It's only logical to stare
[CHORUS] Mistakes never feel forgotten Shoot for the stars but you hit the garden You reap what you sow, though you dug from the bottom You dug up the past and you know it won't last
Up in the attic, I pray for magic It seems these wands will never cast The rats have eaten All of the poison Like traps of rust all in my head We're all just people Dumb, dead, and evil Foundations fall and always have
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE] My body is my temple Just try to be gentle And I'll shelter you I promised you The X marks at the base of my chest Come inside and I"ll show you The rest of me This house is sweet Oh, it"s bittersweet
