Lyrics Your Mind Is Not Your Friend – The National feat. Phoebe Bridgers
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 chokin’ out the sun
You try in vain to be persuaded
That it’s nothin’
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…
