Cleaning House
[Verse 1]
What about them scares you so much?
My standing there threatens your standing too
No longer yearn to be gentle and pure and sweet
Not intimidating yet sure
[Verse 2]
If I lived the way you did
I wouldn't be here today
You only get to say these words because we enabled it
You only get to speak this way because we once stood for it
[Verse 3]
You will raise your voice and talk aloud
But once you didn't have a voice at all
If you think you're the only one in this self-made world of yours
[Outro]
So long, my old friend
You were only a casualty in my cleaning house again
You were only a casualty in my cleaning up again
What about them scares you so much?
My standing there threatens your standing too
No longer yearn to be gentle and pure and sweet
Not intimidating yet sure
[Verse 2]
If I lived the way you did
I wouldn't be here today
You only get to say these words because we enabled it
You only get to speak this way because we once stood for it
[Verse 3]
You will raise your voice and talk aloud
But once you didn't have a voice at all
If you think you're the only one in this self-made world of yours
[Outro]
So long, my old friend
You were only a casualty in my cleaning house again
You were only a casualty in my cleaning up again
