Lyric

Come downstairs

I’ve been waiting

Concrete sweating under stone

No light reaches where I’m home

Every stair becomes a vow

You came too far to leave me now

Chains move softly in the dark

Rust remembers every mark

Hold your breath, pretend you’re gone

I can hear your heartbeat on

Down here

Time bends

No doors

No friends

Basement saint

Waiting below

Where broken prayers

Have nowhere to go

Basement saint

Quiet and still

I don’t need speed

I only need will

Every footstep feeds the floor

Every fear unlocks the door

Come descend and lose your name

Down below, we’re all the same

Someone whispers from the stairs

Someone else forgets their prayers

You came looking for the lost

Now you’re learning what it costs

No bright sky, no open road

Only iron, dust and cold

Hope sounds different underground

Smaller every level down

Come close

Come see

How deep

You’ll be

Basement saint

Waiting below

Where broken prayers

Have nowhere to go

Basement saint

Quiet and still

I don’t need speed

I only need will

Every footstep feeds the floor

Every fear unlocks the door

Come descend and lose your name

Down below, we’re all the same

One light, two breaths, three steps down

No map left when you turn around

Chain drag, cold wall, red in sight

Nothing sacred lives tonight

No rush, no chase, no need to run

Every stair already won

You came down to pull them free

Now the basement keeps all three

Kneel

Listen

That sound?

That’s the door closing

Basement saint

Under the ground

Where every scream

Turns into sound

Basement saint

Patient and cold

Some things down here

Were never meant told

Every footstep feeds the floor

No one waits beyond the door

Come descend and lose your name

Down below, we’re all the same

Amen

Not for you
