Lyrics
You rattle when I walk
You make noise or disturbance as I walk
Dragging right behind me hogging up the sidewalk
Accompanying me closely, taking up space on the sidewalk
Stomp
Stomp (repeated refrain, possibly emphasizing the noise or impact)
Not carrying keys or dimes
Not carrying keys or money
But every time I move I hear you in my mind
Despite not having physical keys, your presence is felt mentally
Stomp
Stomp (repeated refrain)
I shh you when you talk
I silence you when you speak
Take your shoes off not your socks
Remove your shoes, not just your socks
Do not make a sound when you walk
Don't create any noise when you walk
Put your keys in the same place every time
Establish a routine for keeping track of keys
That way you know where everything is in your mind
Organize your belongings to maintain mental clarity
So while you're stomping 'round my head
While you disturb my thoughts
I don't even get your hand
I don't feel your touch
Feeling it for weeks baby yeah I know
Long-lasting impact of your touch, but it's time to let go
Sooner or later you have to let me go
Eventually, you have to release me
So while you get to forget and forget
While you move on and forget
I don't even get a chance
I don't get a chance to move on
Stomp
Stomp (repeated refrain)
So while you're stomping 'round my head
While you disturb my thoughts
Ooh It'll rattle in your head
It will resonate in your thoughts
I don't even get your hand
I still don't feel your touch
Sooner or later you'll have to let me go
Eventually, you'll have to let go
Sooner or later you have to let me go
Reiteration that letting go is inevitable
So while you get to forgive and forget
While you forgive and forget
I don't even get a chance
I don't get a chance to forgive
Stomp
Stomp (repeated refrain)
How you like like living upstairs instead
Living upstairs has its challenges
I thought when I kill you that you just stay dead but
Expectations of a resolution, but complications arise
The keys jangle in the lock instead
Noisy entrance with keys, symbolic of disturbances
My closets bursting with the skeletons
Past mistakes and secrets are overflowing
And your head's in it and your hands open up a room
Your influence is pervasive, creating a mental space
Where I can't escape from you and
A situation where escape is challenging
Do not make a sound
Emphasizing silence
Finally found some ground for walking
Finally finding stability and confidence
Confident my feet aren't stopping
Continued assurance that movement is steady
And even though my heart is racing
Heart racing but relieved to stop shaking
I'm just glad I stopped the shaking
Grateful for overcoming challenges
And I find myself in a rare state of relief
Rare state of relief
You're released
You are released
My heart is gold my mind's a mine
Heart is pure, mind has overcome challenges
Everything is healed with time
Time heals all wounds
You try living with a brain like mine try
Challenges of living with a complex mind
Thought that if I loved you once I love you all my life
Love is enduring, not a sacrifice
Love is not a sacrifice
Contrary to sacrifice, love is not a burden
And to think that I wouldn't have left myself
Realization that leaving is a relief
Im relieved
Expressing relief at not being with oneself
