Your Mind Is Not Your Friend Lyrics
[Verse 1: Matt Berninger]
Your imagination
Is in an awful place
Don't believe in manifestation
Your heart'll break
[Chorus: 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
[Verse 2: 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'
[Chorus: 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
[Bridge: Matt Berninger]
You inherited a fortune
From your mother's side
Your sister didn't get it at all
She survived
[Verse 3: Matt Berninger]
Tranquilize the oceans
Between the poles
You're crawling under rocks
And climbing into holes
[Chorus: 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
[Post-Chorus: Both, 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
[Chorus: 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

Phoebe—the way she sings is like no other. You can hear her right away. There’s something incredibly soothing and comforting about her presence, and the way she sings. This song’s title was something that my wife was echoing to me a lot, she was saying that to me over and over again over the course...
