lyrics

the room inside is dark and dusty / and filled with chaos and cobwebs
everything is covered in sticky miasma / and the air can be cut with a knife
things that shouldn't be there are gathering and growing / and blocking the light and the airflow
this mess is growing above your head now / but you power to act seems gone

it's time to open / the windows of your heart/ to defenestrate all of your clutter
it's time to open / the windows of your soul / to defenestrate all of your junk
let the wind come inside / to blow away the miasma
let the light come inside / to chase out all the shadows

there's unwashed clothes and empty bottles / the dishes of a whole week
there's dirt and dust and bags of chips / unopened bills and reminders
you're sitting there, immovable / just staring at the screensaver
this mess is growing above your head now / but your power to react seems gone

no-one but you can open the doors of your heart
no-one but you can open the doors of your soul

(toki pona chant: o weka e ike tan ni / o weka e ike tan tomo)
