HIGHTIDE HOTEL LYRICS

"Basement Warfare"

Of all those I’ve met and known from different backgrounds, different homes All related to the same vague ache that as they age just seems to grow. Different faces, different names, but the dull pain is always the same All in fear, and all equally unclear of where it’s from or who’s to blame. We wear our broken hearts right on our arms. It’s a history many of us share, yet still a mystery how we all bear these faults of ours, these battle-scars, and worse And it’s universal, I know, but it’s universal… And so as if we had no choice, we rose as one all in once voice And made a language for our anguish, and, for the first time, we could rejoice In knowing that, though no one’s spared, it only further proves that there Are helping hands and those who understand and, in their understanding, care. We are those in doubt. We scream and shout A song that’s gone too long unsung that rings out at the top of our lungs An offering to offer hope to those who still struggle to cope And to make it known they needn’t struggle on their own. And it’s universal, I know, but it’s universal to feel as though you deal with it alone. So this is our way of leaving on a light for all those yet lost and those left behind Because we know the way home can be so unkind, but that’s where we’ll be waiting, where you can always find Our open arms, ears, hearts, and minds. Fighting for our lives by basement light. And this war isn’t only mine. No, it’s ours to fight, ours to define. So if the weight’s too much to bear, why not go where the weight is shared It’s just a short walk down the stairs, yeah maybe we’ll meet there.
