Right then. Walls are beige. Silence is… heavy. Suppose I should stand up straight. Suppose I should behave. (Whatever.) Got my sneakers on the velvet floor Not for honor, darling, just a little war Tutu on my hips, sweatshirt oversized Looking like a glitch in your neatly organized Life. There’s the cake, tiered perfection, so sweet A sugary tower of polite defeat Put my fist right through the creme [light splash sound] Waking up inside your little dream. Camera clicks, the shutter’s quick Watch the status quo perform its trick (Clean it up, boys.) Mess is gone, the plate is clean But you know exactly what I mean. I’m a toxic loop, I’m a dirty rinse Haven’t felt the water or the heat ever since I realized the dirt is the only fun Playing house with you, yeah, I am done. I’m too messy. I’m too clean. I’m the violence inside your scene. (Just a little bit of violence.) Cut to the laundromat, neon glare Two ghosts pretending that we even care Cut to the gym, smell of sweat and lies Scissors in the locker room, surprise, surprise. Snip the braid. Drop the weight. I’m finished with the polite debate. Furry hat on, nowhere left to hide I’m taking all my chaos for a ride. See the doll with the plastic face? She’s taking up too much of my space. (Move over, love.) Snap the neck, burn the flowers grey I never liked them anyway. I’m a toxic loop, I’m a dirty rinse Haven’t felt the water or the heat ever since I realized the dirt is the only fun Playing house with you, yeah, I am done. I’m too messy. I’m too clean. I’m the violence inside your scene. Wedding dress going up in smoke Turns out the “us” was just a joke. No more bitter retaliations Just me ending these false foundations. (Burn it down, babe. Burn it down.) I’m a toxic loop, I’m a dirty rinse Haven’t felt the water or the heat ever since I realized the dirt is the only fun Playing house with you, yeah, I am done. I’m too messy. I’m too clean. I’m the violence inside your scene. I break the loop. I claim the debris. Against the Law? Maybe. But finally… It’s just me. (Ciao.)
