Clean House, Dark Spirits

[Intro]
Old streets whisper stories from a time I can't forget
Screens and shadows, in this house, I try to reset

[Verse 1]
Memories flicker like a faded magazine
Pages of a past where I once felt clean
Scrolling through the shadows, lost in the glow
Trying to keep the spirits out, let 'em go

[Pre-Chorus]
Street lamps flicker as I walk back home
Dimes in my pocket, never alone
The payphone ringing, voices from the past
Calling out, leave the old friends in that harass

[Chorus]
Keep a clean house, keep the darkness away
Cleansing the evil, wash the fear away
Karmic entities, they don’t belong here
God, I need your help, make it all clear

[Verse 2]
Old magazine pages, like echoes that scream
Real light’s slipping, like a fractured dream
Eyes once bright now seen through a screen
Lost in the darkness, where have I  been

[Pre-Chorus]
Street lamps flicker as I walk back home
Dimes in my pocket, never alone
The payphone ringing, voices from the past
Calling out, leave the old friends that harass

[Chorus]
Keep a clean house, keep the darkness away
Cleansing the evil, wash the fear away
Karmic entities, they don’t belong here
God, I need your help, make it all clear

[Bridge]
Facing myself in the mirror’s glow
Battles within, I don’t let them show
Praying for guidance, I stand and plead
God, please, help me, I thank you for me being freed

[Outro]
Street lamps fade as I find my peace
Clean house, pure heart, a sweet release
God, thank you for answering my call
In your grace, I have found it all
In your house, I will pray to thee
