Your Mind Is Not Your Friend Lyrics

[Verse 1: Matt Berninger]
Your imagination
Is in an awful place
Don't believe in manifestation
Your heart'll break

[Chorus: Matt Berninger & Phoebe Bridgers]
Don't you understand?
Your mind is not your friend again
It takes you by the hand
And leaves you nowhere

[Verse 2: Matt Berninger]
You feel it in your nerves
It's choking out the sun
You try in vain to be persuaded
That it's nothing

[Chorus: Matt Berninger & Phoebe Bridgers]
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

[Bridge: Matt Berninger]
You inherited a fortune
From your mother's side
Your sister didn't get it at all
She survived

[Verse 3: Matt Berninger]
Tranquilize the oceans
Between the poles
You're crawling under rocks
And climbing into holes

[Chorus: Matt Berninger & Phoebe Bridgers]
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

[Post-Chorus: Both, Matt Berninger]
Your mind is not your friend
Your mind is not your friend
Your mind is not your friend (Your friend)
Your mind is not your friend

[Chorus: Matt Berninger & Phoebe Bridgers]
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
