Abdullah Siddiqui - Clean Lyrics

I'm building the shelter that you failed to provide
A sanctuary from your storm, a place to occupy

I allow myself the stillness by design
The stillness that is mine, to abide
I allow myself the quiet of the night
The peace of a horizon without your eyes

Wiping down the windows
Fixing all the lights
Painting all the walls in
Colors that I like
You come swinging like a wrecking ball, I'm trapped inside your mess
But I'll move back in tomorrow
Clean it all again

Creaking in the floorboards
This house can't stand the weight
Of all your inattention
And all of your mistakes
I could stand right by your wrecking ball, and stand there till the end
I'll still move back in tomorrow
Clean it all again

Face down in the rubble, brush your reaching hand away
I don't need all of your sick help, I do this everyday

I allow myself the stillness by design
The stillness that is mine, to abide
I allow myself the quiet of a mind
Not burdened by the weight of a thousand lies

Wiping down the windows
Fixing all the lights
Painting all the walls in
Colors that I like
You come swinging like a wrecking ball, I'm trapped inside your mess
But I'll move back in tomorrow
Clean it all again

Creaking in the floorboards
This house can't stand the weight
Of all your inattention
And all of your mistakes
I could stand right by your wrecking ball, and stand there till the end
I'll still move back in tomorrow
Clean it all again

Wiping down the windows
Fixing all the lights
Painting all the walls in
Colors that I like
You come swinging like a wrecking ball, I'm trapped inside your mess
But I'll move back in tomorrow
Clean it all again

Creaking in the floorboards
This house can't stand the weight
Of all your inattention
And all of your mistakes
I could stand right by your wrecking ball, and stand there till the end
I'll still move back in tomorrow
Clean it all again
