Basement Apt lyrics

You live out where the street ends
in a basement apt. with one of your friends
and the tap drips all night
water torture in the sink
The furnace is burning
but it`s still cold i think

I can smell the bleach
that they use in the hall
but it can`t clean the dirt off of me
It`s seeping under the door
in across the floor
it`s starting to hurt

Everytime I breathe
Everytime I try to leave
Everytime I breathe

Now the toaster sticks
and the empties are piled
I haven`t been up the stairs in awhile now
I gotta wash the sheets on my bed
I gotta watch the things that go unsaid
God I wish we`d leave it at this

And every evening you open the door
You come down
There`s nothing like watching tv all night underground
and no one is watching me slide
below street level
barely alive

Now we live out where the street ends
in a basement apt. just like our friends
We always said that we were different
but you know now that we weren`t
`cause there`s holes in all the bottles
and my lungs hurt
