lyrics

Welcome to my abode
Make yourself feel at home
Leave your shoes at the door if you please

Though it’s been a rough year,
I’m so glad that you’re here
to endure a few hours with me

See the kitchen so clean
Every counter pristine
As the smell of fresh coffee abounds

Yes I’ve taken great care
Organized and prepared
Not a spec of debris to be found

Now as we traverse through the hallways
of this mansion of complexities
I must kindly remind you to always
ask permission before you proceed

I don’t mean to be rude or to undermine you
But I promise it’s for your own good

Cuz coming up pretty soon we’ll be passing a room
which is sure to be misunderstood

I can see that you’re already pondering
Curiosity looms in your stare
I suppose just to keep you from wandering
you should see for yourself-
but beware...

Here we are at the door, I’ll apologize more
for the dust and the creaking of springs

Tis a room made to hold anything found with flaw
A collection of imperfect things

See the couch cushions worn
and the rug that is torn
And the curtains are hand-me-down too
Basically anything that falls short of ideal
ends up in this unsightly room

Perhaps you may think it’s repressive
There’s no reason to hide such a space
Well to that I’ll admit I’m obsessive
when it comes to saving face

I’m aware that it’s not a sustainable means
keeping all the excess in one room
And I’m sure that someday I’ll throw it all away
But that day won’t come any time soon
