My Dear Friend

My dear friend, just thought I'd write to you again
I've been turning round in circles
Tracing lines that never seem to end
I've been pulling on these chains
But I'm so tired I can't lift them anymore
Seems like I'm destined to remain here
Crawling, sprawling, falling on the floor
And like a soldier who's been wounded in a war
I just can't find a way to fit
I can't relate to this the way I could before


My dear friend, just thought I'd open up my soul
All the flowers have been raped
And the weeds are getting stronger as they grow
There's a darkness in my head
That I'm too scared to hold a candle to
There are mirrors in this room
That I'm scared to look too hard into
And thoughts that I've buried still alive
Just to keep them from my door
I can't escape from this the way I could before


My dear friend, I've been drowning once again
The current held me down
I couldn't breathe, I couldn't swim
When I made this bed of nails
I never thought that I'd be lying here on it
And when I hauled upon this cross
I never thought that I'd be dying here on it
It feels like I've been digging my own grave
Just to find a reason why
There are no answers
Don't forget all that I've told you
Goodbye
