Lyrics The Friend (demo) - Whitey

Imagine you're the same as everyone
You're perfectly the same as all the people you know
And everyone you know is just a face on the wall
And if you want to be alone, they've got a pill for it all
You just have to ask and it will come to you
The friendly voice that always knows the best for you
A comfortable room where you are never alone
A tightly-sealed womb from which you'll never be born

And the friend in the corner offers everything or nothing at all
And the friend in the corner watches everything no matter how small
See, the friend took a reading at the moment you were born
And the friend will be watching when you check out of it all
Never left you, never let you fall
Never felt a single thing for you at all
Your friend
'Til the end
You're perfect and permanent friend

Gave you everything that you could ever want
And life is so much easier than it ever was
And if you feel alone, you can pretend you're in love
Mimic anything that you've been dreaming of
You just have to ask and it will come to you
A friendly voice that always knows the best for you
A comfortable room where you are never alone
A tightly-sealed womb from which you'll never be born

And if you ever wonder what lies outside the walls
And if you ever cry out for an end to it all
First the friend takes a reading
Then the friend makes a cure
Then the friend sits and watches until you don't care anymore
Shows a thousand smiling faces on your wall
Happy people who invite you to join in their song
They sing along over and over

And on and on and on
It's the same, the same, the same
On and on and on
It's the same for everyone
On and on and on
It's the same, the same, the same
On and on and on
It's the same for everyone
On and on and on
It's the same for everyone
