[Verse 1]
I just bought some folding chairs
A table that has folding legs
I'm getting rid of all my shit
There's piles and piles and piles of it

What the hell am I to do?
There is no way of pleasing you

[Verse 6]
Working hard for no return
Unfold my chair and sit to learn
I look and nothing's here
Now I am riddled with fear
[Verse 7]
I read a book on clearing out
Now I am filled with self doubt
Nothing I do is good enough
Pack it up, I've had enough
