lyrics

I used to clean for my rent money but now I clean for pleasure
I used to clean for necessity but now it’s my leisure
I’d only clean in the parts you could see
now no nook or cranny can be safe around me
I feel so old, and I’m sorry
I must wipe the slate clean

I glance at stars and I want to feel like I’m humbled
like those sad songs sing, but I’m surrounded by planes

be quiet, be quiet
be quiet, make it quiet
Thanks for the insight, now I want a new life
be quiet, quiet
something for the 24 hour party
in my brain, make it quiet

I tried to read tarot for cash but it ended up for fun
I bore people all around me with the meaning of The Swords
in symbols I find only beauty in things
when cards are laid out, I embrace all this emptiness
we’re neither old nor young

I need to stop, I’ve already grown
I’m an imitation of a photo
allow that mould to turn into stone
it all feels so stale and tacky

delete every profile online
on Facebook you pose, and on Facebook you die
crumble to dust that can be swept aside
I’ll scrub away every stain of our deluded lives

be quiet, be quiet
I’m quiet, it’s quiet
thanks for the insight, now I want a new life
now quiet, so quiet
something for the 24 hour parties
on our screens, make them quiet
