  • Your imagination
    Is in an awful place
    Don't believe in manifestation
    Your heart'll break

    Don't you understand?
    Your mind is not your friend again
    It takes you by the hand
    And leaves you nowhere

    You feel it in your nerves
    It's choking out the sun
    You try in vain to be persuaded
    That it's nothing

    Don't you understand?
    Your mind is not your friend again
    It takes you by the hand
    And leaves you nowhere
    You are like a child
    You're gonna flip your lid again
    Don't you understand?
    Your mind is not your friend

    You inherited a fortune
    From your mother's side
    Your sister didn't get it at all
    She survived

    Tranquilize the oceans
    Between the poles
    You're crawling under rocks and
    Climbing into holes

    Don't you understand?
    Your mind is not your friend again
    It takes you by the hand
    And leaves you nowhere
    you are like a child
    You're gonna flip your lid again
    Don't you understand?
    Your mind is not your friend

    Your mind is not your friend
    Your mind is not your friend
    Your mind is not your friend
    Your mind is not your friend

    Don't you understand?
    Your mind is not your friend again
    It takes you by the hand
    And leaves you nowhere
    you are like a child
    You're gonna flip your lid again
    Don't you understand?
