Lyrics
A letter came to your door today
You opened it, read it, then threw it away
Didn't want to be reminded of what it had to say
Just as soon, go lay on the floor
Or beat someone senseless or watch a cartoon
Or paint all your windows to hide the full moon
Tie yourself down like a genuine loon
Becoming one with your shadows within
They keep trying to find you and you run away
With your hands over your eyes and your mouth open wide
To the same lonely hole you get lost in each day
In fact, nobody's friend has got nothing inside
The phone on your table is ringing and ringing
You leave it unanswered, what could it be bringing
Except truth and awareness and likely unstringing?
Just as soon, go lay on the floor
Or flesh-cut your forearms or blow out your brains
Or open your windows to torrential rains
Insuring an unending flow of raw pain
Becoming one with the monsters within
They keep trying to find you and you run away
With your hands over your eyes and your mouth open wide
To the same lonely hole you get lost in each day
In fact, nobody's friend has got nothing inside
Someone's at your door, she's knocking and knocking
Your sense of contentment is reeling and rocking
It's not worth the pain to even think of unlocking
Just as soon, stay down on the floor
And let the night come and watch the light change
Ignore everything that is frightening or strange
Allow isolation to fully derange
Becoming one with the darkness within
Which has never been anyone's friend
They keep trying to find you and you run away
With your hands over your eyes and your mouth open wide
To the same lonely hole you get lost in each day
Nobody's friend has got nothing inside
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm
You opened it, read it, then threw it away
Didn't want to be reminded of what it had to say
Just as soon, go lay on the floor
Or beat someone senseless or watch a cartoon
Or paint all your windows to hide the full moon
Tie yourself down like a genuine loon
Becoming one with your shadows within
They keep trying to find you and you run away
With your hands over your eyes and your mouth open wide
To the same lonely hole you get lost in each day
In fact, nobody's friend has got nothing inside
The phone on your table is ringing and ringing
You leave it unanswered, what could it be bringing
Except truth and awareness and likely unstringing?
Just as soon, go lay on the floor
Or flesh-cut your forearms or blow out your brains
Or open your windows to torrential rains
Insuring an unending flow of raw pain
Becoming one with the monsters within
They keep trying to find you and you run away
With your hands over your eyes and your mouth open wide
To the same lonely hole you get lost in each day
In fact, nobody's friend has got nothing inside
Someone's at your door, she's knocking and knocking
Your sense of contentment is reeling and rocking
It's not worth the pain to even think of unlocking
Just as soon, stay down on the floor
And let the night come and watch the light change
Ignore everything that is frightening or strange
Allow isolation to fully derange
Becoming one with the darkness within
Which has never been anyone's friend
They keep trying to find you and you run away
With your hands over your eyes and your mouth open wide
To the same lonely hole you get lost in each day
Nobody's friend has got nothing inside
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm
