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