lyrics

The people in the basement are a hopeless bunch
Haunted by the memory of something unrelated to
Their current state of nonexistence
Held captively for reasons that have not been well defined
Growing ever furious
Capable of anything if only they weren't locked inside
A secret room under the stairs

Going about your daily life
Oblivious to all the signs
Well you will see that one day you will see that one day
Answers right in front of you were hidden right in front of you
As just under the floor they hide
The ones known as the People Underneath

The ones below the surface and confined within the basement
Have a distant memory of what once constituted life
Now they're rotting beneath the staircase-
And their fury runs so deeply, that if I were you
Then I'd pray they don't get into the walls!

Going about your daily life
Oblivious to all the signs
Well you will see that one day you will see that one day
Answers right in front of you were hidden right in front of you
'Cuz just under the floor they hide
The makings of the People Underneath

Going about your daily life
Oblivious to all the signs
Well you will see that one day you will see that one day
Answers right in front of you were hidden just about just in front of you
As just under the floor they hide
The ones known as the People Underneath
