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
