"They Keep Trying To Find You" lyrics

A letter came to your door today
You opened it, read it, then threw it away
Didn't want to be reminded of what it has to say
Just as soon go lay on the floor

Or beat someone senseless or watch a cartoon
Or paint all your windows to hide the full moon
Tie yourself down like a genuine loon
Becoming one with your shadows within

They keep trying to find you and you run away
With your hands over your eyes and your mouth open wide
To the same lonely hole you get lost in each day
In fact, nobody's friend has got nothing inside

The phone on your table is ringing and ringing
You leave it unanswered, what could it be bringing
'Cept truth and awareness and likely unstringing?
Just as soon go lay on the floor...

Or flesh-cut your forearms or blow out your brains
Or open your windows to torrential rains
Insuring an unending flow of raw pain
Becoming one with the monster within

They keep trying to find you and you run away
With your hands over your eyes and your mouth open wide
To the same lonely hole you get lost in each day
In fact, nobody's friend has got nothing inside

Someone's at your door, she's knocking and knocking
Your sense of contentment is reeling and rocking
It's not worth the pain to even think of unlocking
Just as soon stay down on the floor...

And let the night come and watch the light change
Ignore everything that is frightening or strange
Allow isolation to fully derange
Becoming one with the darkness within
Which has never been anyone's friend

They keep trying to find you and you run away
With your hands over your eyes and your mouth open wide
To the same lonely hole you get lost in each day
In fact, nobody's friend has got nothing inside
