Your Mind Is Not Your Friend (feat. The National)

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?
Your mind is not your friend
