Marlowe - The Basement lyrics
[Marlowe - The Basement lyrics]
It's not the drink, man
You keep your nerves steady
This place ain't like it used to be
How did you get here? What is this place?
Call a doctor, call a proctor
Call a father, call who's listening
I'm the problem, start the drama
Where's my conscience? Not with this again
You Marlowe? Yeah
Call a doctor, call a proctor
Call your mama, call who's listenin'
I'm the problem, I'm the drama
Where's my conscience? Not with this again
Now I started this and I'll finish it
I brandish this for remembrance
When I wore the pic with the Power Fist
Put some hours in, made you bow to this
Got a lot on my lid
Been trying to let off the steam
Bring you into the scene
Bust a hole through the screen
All the rough I've been through
Just to land in the green
Got a plethora of things to help
Me cope when I need i try not to get chewed
Couple holes in the teeth
Won't wait for you, but time wait's for me
Meant nothing to you, my dimes made you see
Flew the country to groove and brought
It back to the sea
Causing problems, far from conscious
Not imposter, I'm my father
Man, some images can't be doctored
Man, I'm checking off the same old boxes
Causing problems, far from conscious
Not imposter, I'm my father
Man, some images can't be doctored
Man, you miss it
You'll never get to cop it again
And she'll never want me again
She'll never want me a
It's true, it's all true
Call your partner, call me proper
I'm the one that makes sure we'll prosper
Many faces never gained no Oscar
Cool 'cause the deal made dough, no launder
Gotta be way too chill for the drama
Even made promises I know I'd never honor
I believe strange things
Go and get some superstition
Orange is the new Brigham
Treat that like a new religion
Hit 'em with some different pitches
They just keep mood-shifting
When the plot get thicker
I come in with lacquer thinner
Used to dream of having spinners
Solemn be not chipper
I don't play fence-sitter
Sipping made my brain bigger
All the changes, far from stainless
Call me hating but don't call me faithless
I've been spacing, I might call you wasted
Talk my language, maybe solve my anguish
Calm in places got no common spaces
Call it off, another fall from greatness
Time you wasted, I stole all my bases
One more, then it's back to the basement
Causing problems, far from conscious
Not imposter, I'm my father
Man, some images can't be doctored
Man, I'm checking off the same old boxes
Causing problems, far from conscious
Not imposter, I'm my father
Man, some images can't be doctored
Man, you miss it
You'll never get to cop it again
And she'll never want me again
She'll never want me
All the changes, far from stainless
Call me hating but don't call me faithless
I've been spacing, I might call you wasted
Talk my language, maybe solve my anguish
Calm in places got no common spaces
Call it off, another fall from greatness
Time you wasted, I stole all my bases
One more, then it's back to the basement
Everybody was closing in on me
I didn't know which way to turn
Provided you get me a warm
Dressing jacket right away
Slippers, too, I'm freezing
Follow me, there's a fire inside
You keep your nerves steady
This place ain't like it used to be
How did you get here? What is this place?
Call a doctor, call a proctor
Call a father, call who's listening
I'm the problem, start the drama
Where's my conscience? Not with this again
You Marlowe? Yeah
Call a doctor, call a proctor
Call your mama, call who's listenin'
I'm the problem, I'm the drama
Where's my conscience? Not with this again
