Your Mind Is Not Your Friend (feat. Phoebe Bridgers)

by The National

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

[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

[Matt Berninger]
You feel it in your nerves
It's chokin' out the sun
You try in vain to be persuaded

That it's nothin'

[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

[Matt Berninger]
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

[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

[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

[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
