They say it's just pixels, a top-down view But every room feels way too true Locked inside, doors slam shut Every time I move, I fuck it up Isaac cries, I cry too Same damn tears, in different room He prays to God, I stare at walls Waitin' for the next shoe to fall Basement's dark, but it's calm Down-down there I don't gotta perform Up here it's eyes, rules, shame Down there nobody says my shitty name Like Isaac, stuck downstairs Basement's safer than her fuckin' prayers Monsters chase me room to room But they sound just like my thoughts do She says God's speakin' through her hand My real mom'd never fuckin' understand it like that If his dad left and never came home Mine did too, just in a different way, alone Power-ups that never last Good fuckin' days gone way too fast One hit left, red heart low I keep goin' 'cause I don't know how to go She says: This hurts me more than you Funny how that's always the excuse Isaac runs, I stay still Both of us just tryin' not to get killed Basement ain't hell, basement's me Only place-place I get to fuckin' breathe Above ground's where guilt gets loud Below's the only place I'm not found Like Isaac, stuck downstairs Basement's safer than her fuckin' prayers Monsters chase me room to room But they sound just like my thoughts do She says God's speakin' through her hand My real mom'd never fuckin' understand it like that If his dad left and never came home Mine did too, just in a different way, alone Pause menu, screen goes black Wish I had one of those for that No restart, no new save Just repeat the same fuckin' day Anne ain't my mother, don't say that shit My mom wouldn't do this Don't mix their names, don't blur that line One lost her mind, one loved me fine Like Isaac, stuck downstairs Basement's safer than her fuckin' prayers Monsters chase me room to room They scream every thought I never fuckin' outgrew-grew She says God's speakin' through her hand My real mom'd never break me, never call this a plan If his dad left and never came home Mine did too, and you left me dealin' with this shit alone With This, eh Shit Alone They say it's just a fucked up game But it knows my house, it knows my name If Isaac's hell's underneath Then maybe mine's just labeled family Ah, ahh
