Superego

Dearest friend, what is going on
You've been avoiding me for far too long
I've reached out my hand, and I've praised your name
But all I can hear is the sound of you running away
You ran away

Dearest friend, is there something wrong?
The river ran red for far too long
I gave and I gave, I stood by your side
I ask now just once for you to swallow your pride
Swallow your pride

I found you in the backyard, burrowed in your grave
I didn't say a word, caved in and slipped away
I found you in the backyard, your soul is wearing thin
But they won't dig you out, no they will keep you

I found you in the backyard, burrowed in your grave
I didn't say a word, caved in and slipped away
I found you in the backyard, your soul is wearing thin
But they won't dig you out, no they will keep you

I saw you in the backyard, I didn't see your face
Thought you were someone else, or someone took your place
And so you left the backyard, the find just what you need
But I'll always be here, cause friends don't ever leave

So if you stop and ask why I'm not around
Hope it doesn't take long to figure it out
I refuse to be used and left out to dry
Won't let you in my mind
