Redecorate lyrics - Twenty One Pilots

 There was a wonderful structure to the city

And it put my cares to rest

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Takin' inventory of his life

Seein' snapshots chronologically inline

Something told him he should look around and tidy up

He collected many things but never quite enough

Tried lookin' at it from a new perspective

Flat on his back but he still heard the directive

Orders from that corner where that shadow always lived

Never asked permission, he just hopes that they forgive

I don't want to go like this (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

At least let me clean my room

I don't want to leave like this (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

'Cause the last thing I want to do is

Make my people make decisions, wonderin' what to do, oh

Should they keep it on display

Or redecorate?

Blankets over mirrors, she tends to like it

She's not afraid of her reflection

But of what she might see behind it

She had plans to change her name, yeah

Just not the traditional way, yeah

Haunted by a couple big mistakes

She covers all the dents with the way she decorates

Then one night she got cold with no blankets on her bed

So she ripped them off the mirror, stepped back and she said

I don't want to go like this (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

At least let me clean my room

I don't want to leave like this (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

'Cause the last thing I want to do is

Make my people make decisions, wonderin' what to do, oh

Should they keep it on display

Or redecorate?

With the bells and the whistles scaled back

Like an isolated track

And he feels trapped when he's not inebriated

Fair to say he's fairly sedated most days of the week

He might have made it if he lived on a different street

I repeat, scaled back and isolated

He says he likes an open schedule, but he mostly hates it

If you're running to his room, take a breath before you break-in

Put your ear up to the door, tell me can you hear him saying?

I don't want to go like this

At least let me clean my room

I don't want to leave like this

'Cause the last thing I want to do is

Make my people make decisions, wondering what to do, oh

Should they keep it on display

Or redecorate?

I don't want to go like this (Go like this)

At least let me clean my room (Clean my room)

I don't want to leave like this (Leave like this)

'Cause the last thing I want to do is (To do is)

Make my people make decisions, wondering what to do, oh

Should they keep it on display (On display)

Or redecorate?

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Or redecorate?

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Or redecorate?
