Well you live out where the street ends
In a basement apartment 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
And 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 every time i breathe
Every time i try to leave
Every time i breathe
Now the toaster sticks, 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 those things that go unsaid
God, i wish we'd leave it at this
Every time i breathe
Every time i try to leave
Every time i breathe
And every evening you open the door, you come down
There's nothing like watching t.v 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 apartment just like our friends
We always said that we were different
But you know now that we weren't
Cuz there's holes in all the bottles and my lungs hurt
Every time i breathe
Every time i try to leave
Every time i breathe
