Oh, woe, why do you stay
And make me feel this awful way?
You filled my heart with your solemn tune
And an endless burning blueish hue
It's been a basement of a year
And all I want is for you to disappear
But oh, woe, you caught my eye
I thought that I'd give you a try
But you're nothing like the way you look
In all those famous songs and books
And now I see how you snuff the light
And kill the ones who hold you inside
And I can feel you grow in me
Like a forest of green
And it's so confounding trying to cut you down
Trying to find a place to begin
Oh, woe, please hear this plea
To walk away and leave me be
I've weathered more than I can take
Of your ever-present lonely ache
It's been a basement of a year
And all I want's for you to disappear
It's been a basement of a year
And all I want's for you to disappear
All I want's for you to disappear
