The elevator broke
And no one has yet come to fix it
I don’t have the right tools to fix it
And no one is here to fix it
The elevator has broke and I can’t get up to the first floor
I’m stuck in the basement and there is nothing I can do
Those floors above me barely exist
‘Cause I can’t get out of this basement
There is no one around who has stopped to fix this elevator
The ones who have tried don’t have the right tools
So, I’m stuck in this basement with no one else around
I’m in the lowest part of this building
And I can’t get up from it
The elevator has broken on me and I can’t leave
Can’t get back to the first floor
I can’t fix the elevator
I do not have the right tools to fix it
No one else has come around to fix the elevator
So I am stuck in this basement

Basement

Topic: oops

I took the elevator to the basement,
The elevator broke
And no one has yet come to fix it
I don’t have the right tools to fix it
And no one is here to fix it
The elevator has broke and I can’t get up to the first floor
I’m stuck in the basement and there is nothing I can do
Those floors above me barely exist
‘Cause I can’t get out of this basement
There is no one around who has stopped to fix this elevator
The ones who have tried don’t have the right tools
So, I’m stuck in this basement with no one else around
I’m in the lowest part of this building
And I can’t get up from it
The elevator has broken on me and I can’t leave
Can’t get back to the first floor
I can’t fix the elevator
I do not have the right tools to fix it
No one else has come around to fix the elevator
So I am stuck in this basement

from someone who's been stuck in the basement for a while now, good job in describing it :D
