Intervention

we came into the room
shaking our broom
but you wouldn't have any of that
you want to live in your own filth
for the rest of your life
and whom am I to blame ya?
we are all gonna turn into dust
or rather, the dust in the corner
is made of parts from all of us

but that doesn't mean it's okay
to fade away without a trace
you may hate yourself but we love you still

things in order keep you safe from harm
but transitions give cause for alarm
don't be afraid to move on up
the bottom is never deep enough 

clean up your act
while staying intact
as the person you are
and you'll go far
change is the name of the game
never ever stay the same
creative disorder brings out the best
but right now, you're at your worst 

so what do you say, how about a shower?
a real meal that will regain your power
instead of abusing it, losing it
to the substance of the hour

things in order keep you safe from harm
but transitions give cause for alarm
don't be afraid to move on up
the bottom is never deep enough 

I pull aside the curtain
and you scream
you just want to dream
sleep for a hundred years
when you have lost it's easy
to lose yourself
when you are lost it's easy
to keep on losing
but you don't have to win to stay ahead
you only need to know your own head
know when it's lying and when it's telling the truth
know when it's time to shake it lose

things in order keep you safe from harm
but transitions give cause for alarm
don't be afraid to move on up
the bottom is never deep enough
