Boy In The Basement

from Old Joy (demos) by Old Joy

/

about

written and recorded in the fall of 2012. pretty accurately describes where i was at that time. i'd been getting fired a lot, and smoking a lot of pot and... other stuff. jerking off. hoping for love i didn't deserve. rather cheerful tune.

lyrics

Yeah I’m the burnout boy in the basement
I’m hoping a Replacements song comes on when I cum
Yeah eyes wide as moons, I’m as yellow as the sun
I wonder if I really ever really loved someone?

Urinal cake eyes watering up, I think I cry when I’m fucked up, I think I’d die if I didn’t already feel dead….
It’s something to do with the way that you look at me, you hate me, you don’t want me, you’re looking for something real, and it’s horrible, the way I make you feel

Yeah come downstairs to the basement
I’m smokin’ up what could have been a nice card or a rose
I’ll never give you more than what’s easiest for me
So let’s get high and I could try to fake some empathy

Urinal cake eyes watering up, I think I cry when I’m fucked up, I think I’d die if I didn’t already feel dead…
It’s something to do with the way that you leave me lyin’, a coffin under the stairs, starin’ at the pairs, and it’s horrible, the way you make me care

Yeah I’m the burnout boy in the basement
I been hoping a Replacements song comes on when I can cum, I can come,
And my eyes wide as moons, I’m as yellow as the sun
I don’t think that I really ever loved anyone
