Clean Your Room

[Intro] Start small That’s what they said One corner One drawer One side of the bed [Verse 1] Coffee rings, unopened mail Dead plants leaning pale as guilt Dust in the light like a second thought Every little thing I meant to fix but didn’t I kept saying the big change was coming Like thunder rolling in from somewhere clean Meanwhile the sink kept filling up And the same old noise kept living in me [Pre-Chorus] Turns out the wreckage Likes a home Turns out the mind Learns from the room [Chorus] Clean your room Not for the picture, not for the praise Clean your room So your spirit has somewhere to stay Pick up the glass Open the blinds Tell the truth in little lines Clean your room And see what clears in you [Verse 2] I used to think it had to be grand Some breaking chain, some master plan But healing looks a lot like socks on the floor And making one phone call you’ve ducked for months Wiping the counter, folding the shirt Throwing away what only proves you were hurt Not every ghost needs a sermon or flame Some of them leave when you stop saying their name [Pre-Chorus] One honest habit One opened shade One thing less For the dark to rearrange [Chorus] Clean your room Not for the picture, not for the praise Clean your room So your spirit has somewhere to stay Pick up the glass Open the blinds Tell the truth in little lines Clean your room And see what clears in you [Bridge] I’m not talking perfection I’m not talking white walls and peace I mean make one place in your life That doesn’t look like defeat I mean stop calling the mess your personality Stop calling the spiral fate Put your hands on something real And give your mind a straighter shape [Final Chorus – bigger, still grounded] Clean your room Not to become someone new Clean your room To remember what’s still true Sweep the floor Make the call Let the daylight hit it all Clean your room And let the order teach you [Outro] One corner One drawer One side of the bed Start there
