Sitting quiet in a basement
Afraid to turn off the lights
I’m still working on your portrait
Three years out, cursing the powers
That gave me the right to call myself an artist
What a joke; yeah, it’s a joke
I didn’t mean it, I promise
I’m pretending, I’m pretending
That there’s meaning in anything I say
I was hoping, I was hoping
You’d feel better from anything I’d ever say
And maybe it was better when I was just a quiet boy
Sitting quiet in a basement
Looking for super powers
In electric sockets, here I go
I’m on my own again
She moved back home
It’s all so casual
Everything’s so casual to everyone else
It must be really fun; yeah, it’s really fun
So I’m pretending, I’m pretending
That I don’t care about anything you say
I’ll be hiding, I’ll keep hiding
In the songs I write and play for only me
Until I find someone who needs me
If I’m ever needed someday
