Silly tune I wanted to crank out. Stuttered a bit in the middle but there's NO TIME! I'll do.
Alice has a secret she's trying to keep
Don't you think her house is a little too neat?
Maybe it's her, I could be wrong
All I know is something's not right
In this old town, night after night
There's some kind of darkness flowing through
Don't go down in the basement
You're not likely to come back up alive
Don't go down in the basement
Something big's moving around down there
Starting to strive
Eric's been up late most nights
Walking his dog when it's not even bright
And he's only been around here since May
Maybe it's him, or Carol, or Pete
Pets have gone missing, fear is complete
Ever since old Mr. Gardner disappeared
Don't go down in the basement

The tune works for me, but I understand the thought behind the chorus picking up. This one has an overall vibe that works for the lyrics. Enjoyed listening!

@margoinmadison I think you're absolutely right! choruses should be more exciting than the rest of the song. Kinda knew it was a gamble, really appreciate the input!

I like the whole theme. And the lead guitar. I feel the slower vocals in the chorus drag a bit.
