Clean Slate Lyrics by [a]lliot

2020

Foam has memory
Wraps around me, oxygen flees
Tight embrace, as it swallows me whole
Are we really safe in the morning glow

Salt draws out the damp
Black covers up my eyes
My padding starts to cramp
With these walls there is no more light

Feathers itch when they’re pulled on
Each time a pillow’s fluffed, it’ll look wrong
And I myself am a soft place
So won’t you rest your head on a clean slate
On a clean slate

Is the cool air stifling you too?
Light a match in midst of the gloom
But don’t forget I am flammable
So bring the flame real close
Yeah, just risk it all

Feathers itch when they’re pulled on
Each time a pillow’s fluffed, it’ll look wrong
And I myself am a soft place
So won’t you rest your head on a clean slate
On a clean slate
Clean slate
Clean slate
On a clean slate

Imagine the bird that lost its wing
The mirror you peer in is shattering
Still you can’t begin to wonder
What it must have been like for another

And I am but a piece of charcoal
Trying not to smoke as I let go
And the fog that’s in my head gets hazy
So when the moisture heats it is raging
Raging
Raging

Feathers itch when they’re pulled on
Each time a pillow’s fluffed, it’ll look wrong
And I myself am a soft place
What will I have to do to be a clean slate
A clean slate
A clean slate
