Clean up Your Room

You've gotta be oriented towards something
Because otherwise you're disoriented
You'd just spin around in circles
And then you suffer and
So do people around you
It's not a good solution
Orient yourself towards something
You have to figure out what it is
What will work for you
What goal would justify
The suffering of your life
Start trying to piece that together
You're going to get better at it
But it's a personal process
So you need a personal place to stand
Because otherwise you're
Going to be handed a place
To stand on a plate
And it may be one that makes you a puppet
Of someone else's goals
So I would say, you know,
What are the processes
Well, I think what I've
Recommended to people is

Clean up your room, clean up your room
Clean up your room, yeah
Clean up your room
Clean up your room

That's a good start,
Organize your local landscape
Schedule your time, start
Taking control of yourself
See if you can stop saying
Things you know to be lies
That's not the same as telling the truth
You don't get to do that to begin with
Because you don't know enough about it
To even attempt it in some sense
But everyone can stop saying things
They know to be falsehoods
Stop saying things that
Violate your conscience
Here's another idea
Stop saying and doing things
That make you feel weak
Just, all you have to do
Is pay attention to that
Some things you do will
Make you feel disintegrated
It's a physiological sensation
Some things improve your integrity
And some things disintegrate you
Now, the things that disintegrate you
You often do to impress other people
Or because you're taking a shortcut
Or you're escaping what you know
To be your moral obligation
And your moral obligation
Stems naturally from your aims
And if you don't have an aim
Well, then, you're aimless
So that's not a solution
So along with the aims
Come the moral obligations
Then when you violate
The moral obligations
You'll have a sense of that violation
It's like, well, you
Have to stop doing that
Or that's something you could do
You don't have to, you
Don't have to do any of this
But I would say that's
Where people should start
You start small

Clean up your room, clean up your room
Clean up your room,
Clean up your room, yeah
Clean up your room, clean up your room

I had a girl come up to me last night
She said, "I started cleaning up my room
And it completely changed my life"
She said, "Your room is an
Externalization of your mind"
And that's right, that's exactly true
To the degree that you're in
Your room, the room is you
Now, that isn't how people think
That's okay, it doesn't
Matter if they think that way
That's how it is
And so straighten up what
You can straighten up
And quit saying things
That make you feel weak
And then
Then you'll know what to do next

Clean up your room, clean up your room
Clean up your room, clean up your room
Clean up your room, clean up your room
Clean up your room, clean up your room

Clean up your room, clean
Up your room, hey, hey
Clean up your room, clean
Up your room, hey, hey, hey
Clean up your room, clean
Up your room, hey, hey
