clean house

it's time to clean house

the one in my mind

heaven only knows

just what I will find

there's dust in the corners

there's dirt on the floor

it's become such a mess

it's hard to ignore

I see I have cobwebs

where hope used to be

I see I have bitterness

inside of me

I must get to cleaning

a pail and a mop

but it just gets messier

and it just won't stop

so I will use elbow grease

scrub as hard as I can

why it doesn't get cleaner

I don't understand

maybe I need a doctor

maybe I need a shrink

maybe I just need

a little silence to think

but still I keep cleaning

that's all I can do

but how do you get rid of

the pain inside you?

it's all needless rubbish

that I should leave behind

it's time to clean house

and save what is mine
